Localization of new Woocommerce blocks

What Issue or Error Are You Experiencing?

I’m currently encountering an issue with my newly installed WordPress + WooCommerce setup, using a basic theme and configured for the Swedish language. Despite having all translations updated, I’ve noticed that when I utilize the cart block and cart widget, certain elements remain in English, failing to get translated as expected.

Replicating the Issue
To replicate the problem, you can follow these steps:

Begin by setting up a fresh WooCommerce site in a local WordPress environment.
Add the cart block to the cart page.
Proceed to the front-end, and add items to your cart.
Visit the cart page.

Background and Potential Solutions
It’s worth noting that I’ve already reached out to WooCommerce support regarding this issue. However, I have previously encountered a similar problem on another website I worked on. Strangely, the issue resolved itself when I later published the site from my local WordPress environment to a live host. After this transition, the cart block correctly displayed in the site’s chosen language.

It appears that there may be a specific issue related to the local WordPress environment that is preventing WooCommerce from fully translating the cart and checkout blocks. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has insights into resolving this issue, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @madjedo

Have you done any caching troubleshooting to see if that is an issue? Essentially does the problem persist when checking the site in a different browser type, via incognito window, using a VPN, or a mobile LTE data hotspot, etc?

Hello @Nick-B , yes.

I have opened a ticket @ woocommerce-blocks github (LocalWP, cart block and widget failing to translate? · Issue #11368 · woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks · GitHub)

Someone refered to that it is because woo core has still not had updated strings yet. But I suspect something else is at play here. Because like I said the issue resolved when uploading to live.

If you can assist me by maybe replicating the issue and reporting to the github:

Begin by setting up a fresh WooCommerce site in a localWP environment.
Add the cart block to the cart page.
Change site language from English to Swedish (or any other language).
Proceed to the front-end, and add items to your cart.
Visit the cart page.

(Later you can try installing woocomerce blocks and see if the issue resolves)

My localwp setup:

PHP version: 8.1.23
Database: MySQL 8.0.16
nginx

Kind regards,

Madjedo!

Hi @madjedo

Per your last here did the issue persist after the core update?

I will re-report if issue still persists after the core update. Thank you for your assistance.

Did you find a solution? I’m having the same issue using LocalWP, but when I create a site using Docker, everything works fine.

Spent ages trying to figure out the problem in WordPress, only to finally figure out, that it is a Local problem…

Hi, im glad someone was able to reporduce it atleast. Others have tried (see link to GitHub).

I have not found a solution yet. But some specific LocalWP setups must be affected then.

Hi @madjedo and @madjedo

If you want to provide some more details we can try taking a look from our end of things?

  • What is your OS?

  • What version of Local are you on?

  • Please attach a copy of your Local Logs

Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!
