    Hi,

    You can add the code that creat the custom field to the theme, change the text-domain to theme's text-domain. Then edit the file template POT in Loco Translate, sync with the new scan to translate the field name. Here is an example:

    $meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'  => __( 'User meta 2', 'estar' ),
    'id'     => 'user-meta-2',
    'type' => 'user',
    'fields' => [
        [
        'name' => __( 'Text123', 'estar' ),
        'id'   => $prefix . 'text_ay5g5lcx88c',
        'type' => 'text',
        ],
    ],
];

    Hi,

    When editing a language, you also need to click "Sync" to update new strings from the POT file. Here is the demo https://monosnap.com/file/y7s1CGPchopz2baTeMCrlzYrEk9ODE

    Thanks,

    i tried everything without a success, i don't know what to do ! and why it didn't work !

    btw: can i choose another text_domain like meta-box for example or meta-box-aio ? why it needs to be on the theme ?

    because i suspect that the theme selected is managed by oxygen builder and maybe there is a conflict in this matter, what do you think, what you can do to try to troubleshoot this issue if you have a same case ?

    thanks for your help

    Hi,

    Can you please check the word User Meta 2 added to the theme? It is translated as well.

    Hi,

    I'm not sure. Can you please share the code that you run on your site? I've just removed it to test. You can generate the standard code from Online Generator or Builder to translate.

    I replaced your code with mine and it worked fine, have you done something other than the steps you showed me first time ?

    can't figure out why my version is not working even with same code !

    sorry again for bothering, i can't progress because of this

    Nothing more. I've just re-synced the template file POT to get new strings. Then re-sync the language template with the POT file to start translating 🙂

    Hi Long
    thanks again for your assistance, really appreciate it

    i did some deep testing and here is what i found:

    when using the code generator and putting the code into themes functions.php, it will work like your example.
    this way it's hard coded and loco translate can see the code

    but in my case i use the builder, so i don't put code on functions.php !
    so i think it's on the database, and loco translate can't see it !
    i downloaded my whole website and i can't find any custom field names or labels there ! of course because there is nothing inside functions.php

    if this is right, and seems logical to you, how would you deal with this situation ?

    thanks again
