Translate strings in paypal pro registration

Hi,

I am trying to tranlate some strings in the paypal prof form vie the codestyling localizatian plugin.
Unfortunately, some string are not getting found, by the Plugin.

I had a look in the code, an there, these strings are translatable.

What can id dot, to translate this without touching the core files? Can i copy the template file to my folder and translate it in the Code directly?

The same Problem with tthe pro sidebar widget: Currently I am not able, to translate “My Account” and “Logout”.

Any help is welcome.

Cheers,
Lars

You can translate it with a hack like this too:

Create this dir/file: /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php
See: Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters

[hilite pre_code]

Hi Christian,

just to be sure: Where it says $translated there should follow the translated words?

Thanks,
Demian

That’s right.

Hi,

these strings are not contained in die

$original

variable.

This is an output form the

$original

variable:

What shall I do now?

What code did you use and where was that output?

I used thas filter function:

<?php
add_filter('gettext_with_context', 'my_translator', 10, 4);
function my_translator($translated, $original, $context, $domain) {
	if ($domain === 's2member') {
		echo $original;
	       exit;
		if ($original === 'Log Me in'){
			$translated = '####';
		}elseif($original === 'My Account'){
			$translated = 'Account';
		}
	}
	return $translated;
}

I see. If you echo $original, you’ll get every s2Member domain’s string echoed, not just the one you want translated.

Hi,

nope. That’s wrong.

“Log me in” isn’t there for example….there are also a lot of other strings missing in the output above.

Any other suggestions?

“Log me in” isn’t there for example….there are also a lot of other strings missing in the output above.

It’ll show the s2Member strings that are the s2Member files that the page loaded. If the string wasn’t in that page, it won’t be shown.

By the way, the string match is case sensitive and the correct string is [hilite mono]'Log Me In'[/hilite], but you have [hilite mono]'Log Me in'[/hilite]. It’s best to look for the string in the source files and once you find it, copy it and then past it in your hack to avoid any mismatches like that.

Works now!

Thank You!

Great! Thanks for the update. :)

Hi Cristián, what I don´t get is this:

The hack you posted above includes the way to translate a few words (account, password …) but obviously there are much more included in the pro forms. Are you saying we should look up all the strings we want to translate and then include them along the lines of “else if ($original === ‘xxxx’) $translated = ‘xxx’;

Also: is there a sure way to detect text strings within php files that show to a user?

Further, I don´t understand what to think and do with the long code that Cornelia Esther (lars) posted on monday 27th. Should I understand what it is all about?

Thanks,
Demian

Right, add an [hilite mono]else if...[/hilite] for each string you want to add a translation for.

Also: is there a sure way to detect text strings within php files that show to a user?

If you search the s2Member files for [hilite mono]_x([/hilite] you’ll find the strings that can be translated. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/_x

That was the result of a failed test she did, you can ignore it.

Hi Christian,

me again.
What about the string sin the js files, e.g. the form validation?

I tried this:

elseif( $original	=== 'This is a required field, please try again.' )

But it does not work. i copied the words from the js file directly.
I also deleted the cache, but did not succed with that. the old strings were still there.

The output form the js files is generated here:

/wp-content/plugins/s2member/s2member-o.php?ws_plugin__s2member_js_w_globals=1&qcABC=1

Nothing changes in this file, or at least not the string, I want to change…

Thank You,
Lars

Try changing the hack file to s2member-o.php. See the article I linked to earlier, the section on s2Member-only Mode, the tab on how it impacts hacks. Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters

Okay. I created that file in the mu-plugins folder. It works, but not for the js file.

I removed the version id, to ensure, that I get a “fresh generated” file.

This is a part of my plugin code:

elseif($original === 'This is a required field, please try again.'){
			$translated = 'Das ist ein Pflichtfeld:';

This the generated js code:

nThis is a required field, please try again.'}else

I also tested in a browser, where I opened the site never before….the same result, so it can not be a cache problem.

I didn’t read the part wirth “s2-o-hacks.php”. My mistake. Now I can also translate the js strings.

Thanks again!

Great! Glad you sorted it out. Thanks for the update. :)
