Title: Problem translating some strings Last modified: February 21, 2020 --- # Problem translating some strings * Resolved [beatsuka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beatsuka/) * (@beatsuka) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-translating-some-strings/) * I’m translating my page with the translatepress plugin and it’s working great except that some places I can not translate. * I have set for 2 languages, Icelandic (first choice) and english US (second choise) For some reason, in the checkout process, few text strings are not translateable into icelandic, only english, (and they are english to begin with) * For example the “Street Adress” and “Town / City” It show’s the original string greyed out in the Icelandic part of thranslation app. Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Dragos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dragosvrejiu/) * (@dragosvrejiu) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-translating-some-strings/#post-12465094) * Hello, * Could you please send me screenshots with the issue and links to that specific parts of your site? * With the best regards, * Thread Starter [beatsuka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beatsuka/) * (@beatsuka) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-translating-some-strings/#post-12465239) * Hello * Screenshot: [https://imgur.com/0tHJchf](https://imgur.com/0tHJchf) * It’s during the checkout process on the website, first step of checkout. * Site: [https://nammiland.is](https://nammiland.is) * I have had to unlock the site since it’s not live yet so the faster I can lock it back down the better 😉 * Thread Starter [beatsuka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beatsuka/) * (@beatsuka) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-translating-some-strings/#post-12472079) * Any word on this?
