Hello again,
After
this post, where you've told me: "Hoi Vriend, share your FTP credentials. I will perform all required actions." I have now lost all my translations. And can't change them. Because I can't find these simple strings.

Hello,
this is showing something, I don't know what is it(dutch, i think woo-commerce is rendering it from their DB). as you stated in another reply, after every update you lost the control over the translation strings. woocommerce takes control over it.
is it??
as i know you are a smart guy. you would have taken backup of your site. you could get the lost strings from the zip file of your older version wplms.
I can. But in what folder? Is it wp-content/languages? Or theme/childtheme/languages? Or plugins/woocommerce? I have no idea.
I think I have found them: /domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/languages/plugins. Right?
But is this an issue? Look at all the woocommerce files. Should I delete some? Which ones? video: http://somup.com/cqQu6feHBI
hello,
one will be in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/language.
copy everything in the zip file.
one will be in wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce/
copy everything in the zip file.
---now goto these directories in the current setup. unzip everything at the same place stated above.
I used
the one at the bottom. That saved the translations. So yeah!! Now where do I download this updated .po file and where should I store it so that it's not affected by updates?
I have no folder languages in woocommerce: https://imgur.com/a/yqiiCNv
and "stated above." Which folder?
And could you give script for this string? I can't seem to find the place to translate it: https://imgur.com/a/6fj0LKF

I know. I changed it. But it didn't stick..
I found the file in i18n/languages. I've saved it on my pc. So whenever translations are missing I can re-upload this file? And get everything back?
Yes !!
it should be PO | MO files put this file in a global folder here:

once done rescan and save this file in loco translate plugin.
You won't believe this.
I just updated my Woocommerce plugin. And lost my translations. This time I though I was well-prepared thanks to your advice. Store the pot file from /domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/i18n/languages. So I did. I just copied the old file back to the same folder, but nothing changed.
I even set back the database to before the update. But still lost.
It annoys me so much. I checked at the loco translate plugin section. Only woocommerce-nl_NL.po was updated. Not the formal one. Both are in system, not author or custom. Which is good..
Now what should I do? I just don't want to change strings every damn time..

UPDATE:
I deleted my woocommerce files.
I imported my backup files; 4 files (woocommerce po an mo and woocommerce formal po and mo)
I put them in /domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/languages/loco/plugins
I went to Loco Translate and updated both files and saved.
In advanced settings it tells me this: https://imgur.com/a/K6jGvTB
Is is set correctly for the future? If I now translate strings are they saved for further updates?
Hello,
Yes, I know this is frustrating. I understand your condition. trust me your the only guy who has translated every string of wplms well. you are the reason I have done my master's degree in loco translate thing.
this is surely woocommerce issue. I think whenever you update this they provide you an updated .pot file and translated .po | .mo files of your language. it stops fetching the string from your location and retrieves the strings from the woocommerce generated .po | .mo of your language.
Please try to contact them and ask about this wicked issue.
settings are fine. put the files in the loco folder. and delete other po | mo files. if the remaining item is in loco then it has to retrieve the data from the remaining po | mo.
Haha, thanks! I'll ask Woocommerce. I'm constantly in emailchat with Tamara. She's nice. She can help with this issue, I'm sure. Thanks Logan!
You think I should put the files here?
/domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/languages/loco/plugins
I now have them here:
/domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/languages/woocommerce
And I deleted all Woo files (51 files!!!!) from here:
/domains/meestergijs.nl/public_html/wp-content/languages/plugins
You think we good?
