Woocommerce add to basket add to cart confusing terminology

Hi,

Looks like "cart" word has been translated to "basket" by localization file you're using.
On my side I see only "cart".

It would be better to adjust translation file and change "basket" to "cart" if possible.

Thank you,
Olivia

How do I do that please, where do I find the localisation file and will it be over-written when if I have to amend the theme and re-export.

Hello Len,
in general the woocommrce related translations are stored in the file

<path_WP_folder>\wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\i18n\languages\woocommerce.pot 

Please check it

I gave up on this in July, but it is still an issue. In the localisation file I cannot find the mapping you refer to.

In Wordpress I have renamed all I can change to "Basket", but the "Cart Link Menu" has the basket icon, and the word "Cart" which links to the "/basket/" page. This has to be a programming error in Themler: Link text and link are not the same.

I have also tried to change it all the other way to "Cart", but buttons on products are "Add to Basket", which cannot easily be changed (other than direct edit of theme / Wordpress files). So this is not a viable solution either.

What I want to do is change the Cart Link without changing any file that will get overwritten by a theme or Wordpress update, and also not use a Child theme.

This IS a core fault in themler, can you please pass it onto your programmers for URGENT resolution.

Any sensible suggestions of help appreciated.

Hello Len,
the "Cart" text on the Cart Link control is not hardcoded, the translation for "cart" word is used. Here is relevant code:

                       <span>


                                <?php if ($cartSize): ?>
                                    <?php echo sprintf(__('Cart (%s)', 'default'), $cartSize) ?>
                                <?php else: ?>
                                    <?php echo __('Cart', 'default') ?>
                                <?php endif ?>
                        </span>

So if you want to output different text here you need to change the relevamt translation text.

When I looked I could not find the translation text in the woocommerce.pot file, I will have another look.

I still maintain that we should not need to be doing this, setting such text should be a function of Themler.

Hi,

Not exactly. All theme needs to do is to provide specific text wrapped in translation function. In this case the text will be translated if appropriate translation kep exists in WP translation file.
In the example above keys Cart (%s) and Cart are two different translation keys. For example, if there is no translation key for exactly Cart (%s) it will not be translated. In this case you just need to add appropriate key to .po file and regenerate .mo file. There are a lot of instructions and tools for this.

Thank you,

If I need to change the theme and re-export, where can I find the localization file and will it be overwritten?
