WoodMart theme translation missing after activating WPML
-
Hi,
I have uploaded WoodMart’s German language files from here: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/theme-translation/. With this language file, most of the texts from the theme were translated into German.
After activating WPML, all those translations seem to be lost, and everything switched back to English. When I deactivate WPML, I see the German translations again.
You say, that your theme is compatible with WPML. Why is this not working? I had the same issue with your theme and WPML some weeks ago.
Thank you and best regards,
David
Hi david,
Thanks for reaching to us.
+ In order to change / translate words. Please make sure you synced the strings first before changing / translating WooCommerce, WordPress Cores file, WoodMart Core plugins and WoodMart theme. You can refer to article

+ You are also need to select the language for the backend and theme settings for admin from the admin user profile, please edit the user’s profile and then select the language for that user it will show the same on the backend.
+ Some strings related to Wishlist / Compare / Login & Register page, you can change in Theme Settings > Shop or Theme Settings > My account https://prnt.sc/W8Tt95stG3YC

Hi Hung,
it is not about the language in the backend. I have used WoodMart’s German language files to translate the theme in the frontend. And it has been working perfectly fine, but after installing WPML and activating it, WoodMart’s German language files seem to be ignored.
Hi david,
To assist you in the best possible manner, I kindly ask that you please provide me temporary wp-admin info (wp-admin URL, username, password) to the Private Content area, this will allow me to thoroughly investigate and address your concerns more efficiently.
Best Regards,
It seems to be a WPML issue.
It seems that WPML does not pay attention to the default language which was set to German (formal). After activating WPML it overwrites the setting with “de_DE”. After changing this setting back to “de_DE_formal” all the theme translations seem to be working again.
Thank you!
