Can’t seem to translate a specific string in filterbar

[Ben]

It’s the string “Event Category” in filterbar.
See in red: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7zgh1gee7q9yjc/Selection_650.jpg?dl=0

Where can I find this string to translate? There is one such string in initialize_filters() in View.php but it doesn’t see to be the right one?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben!

Sorry to hear you’re having a bit of difficulty here. You do have the right text string, though so you’re off to a good start. The text string is listed in the ‘lang > tribe-events-filter-view.pot’ file on line 207 if you’d like to translate it yourself.

As an alternative you can use this snippet: https://gist.github.com/trishasalas/eae367f6f09c7958aa8284b84e025563

Place it at the bottom of your theme’s function.php file taking care not to disturb any of the existing code. After that, replace the text ‘TRANSLATED TEXT HERE’ with your translation.

That should get you set up! If you have any problem with this or have any further questions feel free to let me know!

Happy to Help! ?

Cheers,

Hello again,

I tried both ways but nothing helped. Nothing happens even when I changed in the ‘Event Category’ string in View.php in initialize_filters().

I had to make an ugly hack where the text is output in Filter.php

                                                // ugly hack
						if($this->title == 'Event Category') {
							$this->title = 'Kategori';
						}
                                                // end of ugly hack
						?>
						<h3 class="tribe-events-filters-group-heading"><?php echo stripslashes( $this->title ); ?></h3>

Could you please look into this and see if the “Event Category” string has some other origin?!

Thanks!

Hi Ben!

Hm, that is odd. I was able to modify that string with the code snippet, that makes me wonder if you might have an conflict somewhere.

Have you gone through the troubleshooting steps here at all? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

In the meantime, I will ask one of our translation specialists to confirm that you are targeting the correct string.

Let me know what you find out and I’ll do the same.

Hi Ben!

Thank you for your patience on this! I spoke with our translations specialist and he told me that you can change that label directly in Events -> Settings -> Filters.

I wasn’t aware of this and it seems like the easiest way to overcome this specific issue.

You do have the correct string but it’s possible the language files aren’t completely up to date (which would explain why it is not rendering). That is something we re working on so I hope to see a change on that front in the not-too-distant future.

I hope this helps! Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

Cheers,
Trisha
