[Gelöst] String translation does not work in a content template
Dieser Thread wurde gelöst. Hier ist eine Beschreibung des Problems und der Lösung.
Problem:
Strings added using the wpml-string shortcode and translated in WPML String Translation do not appear translated on the front end.
Solution:
This is a bug in WPML 3.7.0 where the string is being given the text domain of wpml-shortcode rather than that of the context attribute provided in the wpml-string shortcode, and will be fixed in an upcoming WPML release

I'm trying to use a wpml-string shortcode within a content template. However, for whatever reason this does not work (it seems to worked before on the other site, but not now). Here is what I've done:
1. Created a new content template named 'Test Content Template'.
2. Added a text wrapped in wmpl-string shortcode to it:
[wpml-string context='toolset_template']Проверка[/wpml-string] (Text is in Russian).
3. Translated a string to English in WPML String Translation. First I've changed string original language to Russian (for whatever reason it was set to English) and added an English translation, 'Test'. Marked translation as complete.
4. Inserted a content template into a page in Russian (Russian is set as the main language of the site):
5. Copied the same code as above into an English translation of a page.
What I expect is that English translation of a page would display 'Test' instead of 'Проверка', but both are showing the Russian text version.
Here are the links:
Russian version: hidden link
English version: hidden link
As you see, text below page title is the same, even though text string is shown as translated ('Translation Complete').
Am I using it the right way? What should I fix to make it work?
I can provide you with access to the WP Admin of the site if necessary.
Great that you was able to reproduce it. Hope it would be reasonably easy to fix.
It also seems that this bug is affecting only some strings, presumably newly added ones. Probably it has something to do with translation tables not updated properly when a new string is added, but this is a very wide guess.
This problem is affecting a production site, so if there will be a solution, please let me know. I can patch toolset code manually while waiting for the bug fix release. It will allow to deploy a fix faster.
This is a WPML issue which is being worked on (and will be fixed in WPML), but in the meantime I have a workaround for you.
Although the shortcode allows you to specify the context (i.e. the text domain) for your strings, this domain is not being respected and the string is also being registered against the text domain "wpml-shortcode".
So in WPML > String Translation, look for your string with the wpml-shortcode text domain and translate that. Then it should be rendered correctly when output using the wpml-string shortcode.
(To future proof when this is fixed, you may want to translate the string both for your chosen text domain, and the wpml-shortcode domain.)
