    I have a big issue where some text on the woocommerce checkout page is wrongly translated – There is English text on the “original” site in Swedish and the original string is greyed out. Some tutorial images I’ve seen has three inputs on the translate page – original greyed out string, language 1 translation and language 2 translation. Please see the image for my issue. Is there a setting somewhere where I can enable this or can I translate the few rows of text that’s wrong manually with gettext/trp language shortcode in php? If so, please help me figure out the code! It is only the checkout page. I can’t edit the text that doesn’t translate in the page block editor. I have tried finding it with string translation and even attempting to fix it with loco translate but nothing works. See image for problem https://snipboard.io/xuWkjr.jpg

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello,

    TranslatePress translates content directionally, from the default language to the additional language, not the other way around.
    This issue may arise when the default language of your site (Swedish) differs from the language of the plugin (English). In such cases, TranslatePress may detect the content as already being in the default language and will not be able to translate it into this language.

    The translation of these strings into Swedish should work correctly with Loco Translate.

    Can you try excluding the “woocommerce” domain from TranslatePress Advanced Settings – Exclude strings – Exclude Gettext Strings – Domain to see if you can translate these strings into Swedish this way?
    Excluding the domain will not affect the translations.

    Kind regards,

    Anca

    Thank you, it worked to edit the strings with loco translate after doing that!
