Translate dynamic strings via WPML
Learn how to add dynamic strings of WPLoyalty to the String Table of WPML and how to translate it
Why we developed WPLoyalty - dynamic string translation addon plugin ?
At first, dynamic strings like Campaign/ Reward Title or Campaign/ Reward Description or strings from Launcher will be missing from WPML -> String Translation -> String Table.
To add such strings to the string table of WPML, we have introduced an add-on called “Dynamic String Translation”. Using this addon plugin we can simply add dynamic strings in bulk to the string table of WPML and translate it easily in just a few clicks.

Step 2: Translating the added dynamic strings using WPML:
1. Go to WPML -> String Translation
2. Select WPLoyalty plugin in "in domain" section and after loading, you can search for the string (For example -> Reward title: “Redeem every 10 Points for $1” ) and click on the search option.
3. Then, you can add the translation for respective language (I'm translating the string to "French") by clicking on "+" symbol, add the translation and enter
Now, we have successfully translated the Reward Title to French. Likewise, we can translate all dynamic strings from WPLoyalty using the addon “Dynamic String Translation”.
