Hi,
I changed the wordpress language from German to Formal German, but still the checkbox on the subscription Form uses informal German. Where and how can I force the newsletter Plugin to use the Formal Translation?
Initially I tried to use Loco Translate to just change the specific String – but that has also been ignored by the newsletter Plugin.
Please advice,
ThanksI’m especially failing to get this string:
“Indem Du fortfährst, akzeptierst Du unsere Datenschutzerklärung.”
to display as:
“Indem Sie fortfahren, akzeptieren Sie unsere Datenschutzerklärung.”
The string has been successfully changed in the wp-content/languages/plugins/newsletter-de_DE.po – then compiled to newsletter-de_DE.mo, uploaded to the directory wp-content/languages/plugins – still the string is not being translated correctly. What am I missing?????
Ok – hours later I found a solution to this issue – maybe I can help someone else who runs into this problem.
As neither editing the translation files directly nor via loco translate was able to update the translated strings I figured that they are maybe written to the db during installation. So after some time I found out that this process does actually updated the translated strings for the newsletter plugin:
1.) deinstall the plugin
2.) make sure that there are no left over files in wp-content/language directory
3.) in the db delete all newsletter tables
4.) THE IMPORTANT PART: delete the newsletter_profile rows in the your-prefix option table
5.) change the wordpress default language to whatever language you need (in my case it was the formal German Sie)
6. reinstall the newsletter plugin
