Hi Team Loco,

We noticed that some weird code shows up in our cart notice, before and after the product name, when adding a product to the cart: &ldquo &rdquo

For example : https://www.het-theezaakje.nl/product/afterpartea/

Have you ever seen this before? It seems to have something to do with translation. Do you know what we can do about it?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,

from Joris

Sounds to me like someone entered HTML into a translation which is not supposed to be used as HTML.

Read FAQ: https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/faqs/html-editing

I’m marking this as resolved because entering and using translations correctly according to your site rendering is outside the remit of the file editor which simply saves the text you ask it to.

Hi Tim,

There is no html in the translation field in Loco translate..

Then possibly the %s substitution is being used to render HTML. If so, this is the fault of the code author.

Or some filter could be interfering and converting quote marks to HTML.

I can only make wild guesses, because the rendering of translations is beyond the control of Loco Translate. It saves the text. Then its job is over.
