I have completely no idea what’s wrong here. * Do you have any other translation releted issues on your site or this is the only one? * Do you use any caching plugin? * Is this a multisite WP install? * [AeJordi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aejordi/) * (@aejordi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-strings-problems/#post-5713488) * I had the same problem but with polylang, and the solution was so easy… * > 3- Scan new strings of plugin with WPML theme and plugins location…. * I think that may be the problem. * I don’t know how it works in WMPL, but in Polylang you can filter/scan the strings or search them manually. When you do it manually is when it works. * That way I resolved my problems with Polylang, I hope that the same solution applies to WMPL! * [Oriana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oriana/) * (@oriana) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-strings-problems/#post-5713668) * Hi, * I’m having the exact same problem as SergioDev had (i.e. the string translations of the notice message are there but don’t work/show on the front-end) – did you find a solution in the end? * I’m working on a local WP site (via MAMP) that uses WPML (latest version). The site has 2 languages (Italian as default language and German), but the language for the strings is set to English, as suggested by WPML. * I followed the same steps as SergioDev: 1- installed and activated the plugin 2- Scanned the plugin for strings with WPML theme and plugins localization 3- checked via “see all the plugin’s texts” and found the english string for the notice message was already translated in both Italian and German (the string was marked as “translation completed”) 4-I re-saved both translations for good measure 5. I also set the administration language to English (but that made no difference) * Basically, although the english string is translated via WPML, the front-end of both sites shows the cookie notice message that you have in the Cookie Notice configuration settings (in my case the text in Italian). * Hope you can help! * Thanks, Oriana * [Oriana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oriana/) * (@oriana) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-strings-problems/#post-5713669) * Never mind, I solved it! :)) * FYI, the problem was that, within WPML string translation, strings were listed under 2 different contexts, one called “Cookie Notice” and one called “Plugin Cookie Notice”. I was looking into the last one, which was showing strings from the php files of the plugin. When I looked into the first one, I found the actual string that controls the message of the configuration settings (the string name being “Message in the notice”) and adding the correct translations there did the trick. [big face palm] * Hope this can save some time to other people that may incur in the same oversight! * Oriana Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘WPML strings problems’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/cookie-notice/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2466385) * [Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-notice/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cookie-notice/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cookie-notice/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cookie-notice/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cookie-notice/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cookie-notice/reviews/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Oriana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oriana/) * Last activity: [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-strings-problems/#post-5713669) * Status: not resolved
