State/Province not translated

[Luc Gagnon]

Hi,

I use your plugin in French and in the booking form, the State/Province is translated to ‘État/Région’ in the French po file. I would like to change the translation to ‘Province’ so I modified the po file but when I refresh the page, it’s still ‘État/Région’ that is showing. What can I do?

Also, I bought the Business license but realised I would be better with the Developper license. Can I upgrade?

Thanks,

Luc

The .po file is just the human-readable file for editing translations. From that you would need to create a .mo file, which is what the plug-in uses for translation. Software like poedit can do that. You would also need to store it, appropriately named in wp-content/languages to prevent the changes from being lost on an update (see http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/i18n/ for details).

However, a much better way would be to use the following snippet:

add_action( 'eventorganiser_get_event_booking_form', function( $form, $event_id ){

    $labels = array(
        'street-address' => __( 'Street Address', 'eventorganiserp' ),
        '2nd-line'       => __( 'Address Line 2', 'eventorganiserp' ),
        'city'           => __( 'City', 'eventorganiserp' ),
        'state'          => __( 'Region/County', 'eventorganiserp' ),
        'postcode'       => __( 'Postcode', 'eventorganiserp' ),
        'country'        => __( 'Country', 'eventorganiserp' ),
    );

    $elements = $form->flatten_elements();

    foreach( $elements as $element ){
        if( 'address' == $element->type ){
            $element->set( 'subfield_labels', $labels );
        }
    }
}, 10, 2 );

Just change the label values to whatever you want them to be.

Yes, it’s possible to upgrade, I’ll be in touch with a discount code you can use to purchase a developer license.

Thanks Stephen. I used poedit to edit the po file and uploaded both the po and mo file to the server but it didn’t change the label for State/Province. Using the snippet you sent did the trick.
