WPML Configuration
Our plugin is compatible with
https://wpml.org/ which allows translation of certain texts in the search UI. The following texts can be translated.
Postcode Lookup:
- Lookup button text
- Search in progress message
- Unknown postcode message
- Invalid postcode message

-
Unknown error message
If you want to use WPML to translate the Addressify plugin, the following plugins must first be installed:
-
Addressify
- WPML Multilingual CMS
- WPML String Translation
-
WooCommerce Multilingual
You must also configure the Addressify plugin first. You can find the plugin settings in WooCommerce / Settings / Integration / Addressify Postcode Lookup. Select the products that you would like to enable and enter the texts you would like to use for your site's default language.
-
In your WordPress admin panel, go to WPML / String Translation.
- A list will be displayed showing all strings available for translation. First you should filter this list to show only the options related to the plugin. You can do this using 'Select strings within domain'. You should select this domain: admin_texts_woocommerce_addressify_postcodelookup_settings. This will display all the options from the Addressify plugin that can be translated. Note that some of these options are for Address Postcode Lookup. You can ignore any options that do not require translation.
- For each option, click the 'translations' button next to the string. Here you can set custom translations for each language that you have enabled. When you are happy with the translation, make sure you mark that translation as complete, then save your changes.
Your translated texts will now appear in the search UI!
