    Hello XStore Support Team,

    We’re experiencing a translation issue with the Finnish version of our WooCommerce checkout that we cannot resolve on our own, even with WPML.

    The Issue:
    In Finnish language, words change form based on their grammatical context. Currently in the checkout, we have text appearing incorrectly because the theme appears to use the same translation string for two different purposes:

    What’s Happening:
    – The step 3 sidebar shows: “LISÄTIETOJA”
    – The continue button shows: “Jatka Lisätietoja”

    The Problem:
    Both are grammatically incorrect in Finnish. They should be:
    – Sidebar step: “LISÄTIEDOT” (basic form for titles)
    – Button: “Jatka lisätietoihin” (different grammatical case required after “Continue”)

    However, since both elements seem to pull from the same translation string, we cannot correct one without breaking the other.

    What We’ve Tried:
    – Searched through all WPML string translations
    – Attempted to find separate strings for these elements
    – Tried various translation overrides
    – Cannot find a way to translate them independently

    Impact:
    This creates an unprofessional appearance and confusion for Finnish customers during checkout, potentially affecting conversions.

    Environment:
    – Site: https://staging.thenordicpartners.com/fi/kassa/
    – Theme: XStore
    – Translation method: WPML
    – Language: Finnish

    Could you please advise how we can resolve this? We’re open to any solution you can provide – whether it’s a theme update, custom code, or a workaround we haven’t thought of.

    We’re attaching a screenshot showing exactly which elements need to be changed and what they should say.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hello, MaxFIN,

    Could you please provide temporary FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Best Regards,

    Hello, MaxFIN,

    We have updated the name to “lisätietoihin”. However, due to the default structure of WooCommerce, the button label and the step title are automatically set to be the same. Unfortunately, there is currently no standardized way to assign different names to each of them.

    Best regards,
    The 8Theme Team
