Translate and Adapt unable to translate some words

Start a Business

Topic summary

Issue: After installing the “Translate and Adapt” app to translate English to French, several interface texts remain untranslated.

Untranslated elements:

  • Text inside buttons on images and banners.
  • “Share” on the product page.
  • “You may also like” on the product page.

Context and evidence:

  • Two screenshots were provided showing the untranslated “Share/You may also like” and button text. Images are central to understanding the specific locations.

Latest update/response:

  • A staff member advised this is likely a theme-related issue. The strings may be “hard coded,” meaning the text is embedded directly in the theme’s code and not exposed to the translation system.

Next steps suggested:

  • Contact the theme developer to make these strings translatable or to expose them to the translation app.

Status:

  • No resolution yet. The thread points to a theme-developer fix; app changes alone may not address the issue.

Hey there,

I have installed the App. Translate and Adapt and most of my web was translated from English to French except the below:

  1. Text inside buttons of images and banners
  2. The word “Share” in the product page
  3. The word “You may also like” in the product page

Hi @FDT thanks for trying out the app. These would be questions for your theme developer; it’s possible that they have hard coded the strings you mentioned.
