Customizable Translation Management for Sales Counters
Dear Woodmart Team,
First of all, I want to thank you for creating such a versatile and feature-rich theme. The Sales Counters feature is excellent for creating urgency and boosting conversions on product pages. However, I noticed a significant limitation when attempting to translate these counters into other languages, specifically Turkish.
The current translation strings for Sales Counters (e.g., "Items sold in the last X minutes") are difficult to adapt into different languages due to their dynamic structure. For example, in Turkish, the word order, plurality, and grammar rules require adjustments that cannot always be achieved using the existing .po files. This makes the messages less meaningful or grammatically incorrect.
I would like to suggest implementing a feature similar to the one used for the "Free Shipping Progress Bar" in your theme. For example, as seen in the attached screenshot, the Free Shipping Bar allows users to define custom messages using placeholders like [remainder]. A similar interface for Sales Counters would let users manually customize the text format to suit their language while retaining dynamic data (e.g., %s for numbers).
This approach would:
Allow users to craft more accurate and engaging messages in their native language.
Simplify the translation process, especially for languages that require contextual changes.
Make this feature more accessible for global users.
Thank you for considering this request. The Free Shipping Progress Bar implementation is a great example of flexibility, and extending such customization to Sales Counters would undoubtedly make your theme even better for international markets.
If you need further details or feedback, I would be happy to assist.
Best regards,
