 * Hi,
 * With the latest updates of WooCommerce, the translations does not work in certain
   spots. For instance, the file “order-details.php” has been splitted into sveral
   files and now the “Customer Details” on the thankyou page is not translated. 
   I had to override the file in my child theme to get that working. Another spot
   is “(Product name) was successfully added to your cart” message on the single
   product page. I have not yet found where to change that, but it´s really irritating
   that the language files does not seem to work in certain spots. I have double
   checke my language files (located in languages/woocommerce), and everything looks
   OK there.
 * Could you shed some light on this?

 * Strings are case sensitive so it may be due to that. You can update and contribute
   to translations here [https://www.transifex.com/woothemes/woocommerce/](https://www.transifex.com/woothemes/woocommerce/)
   All users will then get this update during next release.

 * I am aware of the case sensitivity, so that´s not the problem. As I said, my 
   language files worked fine until you started splitting up certain files. After
   that, some of them are not translated anymore. Since there is an option to override
   the default language files by putting them in wp-content/languages/woocommerce,
   it should just work.

 * If “Customer Details” is wrapped in __(), which it is, there is nothing to prevent
   localisation unless the string is missing in the po/mo.

 * There are 2 language files. One for admin. One for frontend. The frontend one
   is what should be used in this case. I’ve confirmed this string is in the POT
   file.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for answering. I´m well aware that there are different language files
   for admin and frontend.
 * In my woocommerce-sv-SE .po file, the string “"%s" was successfully added to 
   your cart.” is translated to “"%s" placerades i din varukorg.”, but that string
   does not get translated (same thing with “Customer details on the thankyou page).

 * Are you sure the po is up to date then?
 * The string differs:
