My comment field label translation broke with 1.1.0

Hey! Thank you for a fine plugin. I have been using it for quite a while. Today, I noticed that the “Leave a reply” would always be displayed in the default site language, regardless of the language I have chosen in my selector. So, in my case, it would say “Efterlad et svar” (in Danish), both on the English and the Danish version of the page. Disabling Performant Translations fixed this for me, as did downgrading to 1.0.9. Is that something you can reproduce? Kind regards, Bjarne The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] Heya, thanks for flagging this! In order to try to reproduce this issue I’ll need a little bit more information. What multilingual plugin are you using on your site? Does this issue happen when not using said plugin? You can also share your Site Health info (Tools -> Site Health -> Info -> copy to clipboard), which would be helpful. Are there more untranslated strings or is this the only one? What I see at first glance is that your theme, Blocksy, is not fully translated into Danish, there’s no translation for the string “Leave a Reply” either. So it makes sense that the string is only in English. Lets get that site health out of the way first 🙂 ` wp-core version: 6.4.2 site_language: da_DK user_language: en_GB timezone: Europe/Copenhagen permalink: /%postname%/ https_status: true multisite: false user_registration: 0 blog_public: 1 default_comment_status: open environment_type: production user_count: 3 dotorg_communication: true wp-paths-sizes wordpress_path: /home/sustain2/oldrup.dk wordpress_size: 92,41 MB (96899819 bytes) uploads_path: /home/sustain2/oldrup.dk/wp-content/uploads uploads_size: 52,15 MB (54685371 bytes) themes_path: /home/sustain2/oldrup.dk/wp-content/themes themes_size: 11,82 MB (12391001 bytes) plugins_path: /home/sustain2/oldrup.dk/wp-content/plugins plugins_size: 136,80 MB (143440337 bytes) database_size: 46,30 MB (48545792 bytes) total_size: 339,47 MB (355962320 bytes) wp-dropins (2) fatal-error-handler.php: true object-cache.php: true wp-active-theme name: Blocksy (blocksy) version: 2.0.22 author: CreativeThemes author_website: https://creativethemes.com parent_theme: none theme_features: widgets-block-editor, automatic-feed-links, responsive-embeds, html5, title-tag, custom-logo, lifterlms-sidebars, boostify-header-footer, fl-theme-builder-headers, fl-theme-builder-footers, fl-theme-builder-parts, editor-styles, editor-style, editor-color-palette, editor-gradient-presets, post-thumbnails, menus, align-wide, customize-selective-refresh-widgets, header-footer-elementor, disable-custom-font-sizes, disable-custom-colors, disable-custom-gradients, widgets theme_path: /home/sustain2/oldrup.dk/wp-content/themes/blocksy auto_update: Disabled wp-themes-inactive (1) Twenty Twenty: version: 2.5, author: the WordPress team, Auto-updates disabled wp-plugins-active (31) Accessibility Checker: version: 1.7.1, author: Equalize Digital, Auto-updates enabled Accessibility Checker Pro: version: 1.5.2, author: Equalize Digital, Auto-updates disabled Activity Log: version: 2.9.0, author: Activity Log Team, Auto-updates disabled Admin Columns: version: 4.6.1, author: AdminColumns.com, Auto-updates enabled All-in-One WP Migration: version: 7.79, author: ServMask, Auto-updates disabled Antispam Bee: version: 2.11.5, author: pluginkollektiv, Auto-updates enabled Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster: version: 1.3.9.3, author: Gabe Livan, Auto-updates disabled Blocksy Companion (Premium): version: 2.0.22, author: CreativeThemes, Auto-updates enabled Clean Image Filenames: version: 1.4, author: Upperdog, Auto-updates enabled Content Aware Sidebars: version: 3.19.3, author: Joachim Jensen -

But giving the benefit of the doubt, let’s do the banana test: Sure thing, on the front end, when Danish is chosen, the “Leave a reply” text is translated as expected: The English version is still untouched: So the problem is not that the translation is not kicking in, more than all the comment/reply fields are being translated into Danish with version 1.1.0, even though English is chosen, and the rest of the page is in English: Uninstalling Performant Translations, or simply reverting to 1.0.9, fixes that, and both the English and the Danish page are shown correctly. Now if you will excuse me, I have a 🍌 to clean up 😉 Thanks! I’ve had no luck so far trying to reproduce this with Polylang and Loco Translate active. Did you perhaps create any custom translations in Loco Translate? In this case, what you could try is completely uninstalling Performant Translations and installing it again. That will reset the PHP translations so you have a clean slate again. If you temporarily install Query Monitor you should be able to see which translation files actually get loaded when viewing a post. That will provide some more details to help pinpoint the issue. The Danish translation is a custom translation, that’s true. Uninstalling PT solves the issues for me. Installing 1.0.9 is also ok. The problem appears to occur when I upgrade to 1.1.0 I will try to see if I can reproduce this on a fresh install tomorrow, with Query Monitor enabled. Stay tuned. Uninstalling PT solves the issues for me. Right, what I meant is uninstalling (which deletes translation files) and then re-installing the plugin again. The strange thing about this behavior is that PT itself doesn’t have any logic about different languages. It just loads whatever is given to it in a more performant way.
