15.1 - Field translations

Version 3.x lets you translate customer-facing field text directly from the field editor. This is the recommended way to translate labels and validation messages.

You can translate items such as:

• field label
• cart/summary label
• required error message
• other field-specific strings when the field type supports them

1. Open the calculator.
2. Go to Fields.
3. Edit the field you want to translate.
4. Use the translation controls next to the translatable inputs.
5. Save the translations.

These translations are stored with the field and travel with the calculator when you export and import it.

15.2 - Admin interface translations

The modern admin interface ships with bundled language files and follows the active WordPress or user locale automatically.

In practice, this means:

• you do not need to edit PHP language files for the modern admin
• plugin updates keep the official translations managed by the plugin
• if a language is missing or incorrect, it is better to report it than to edit plugin files directly in production

15.3 - Legacy custom translation files

For backward compatibility, legacy file-based frontend translations are still supported through:

/wp-content/uploads/excel-worksheet-price-calculation/translations

Example:

<?php
return array(
  'height' => 'Height',
  'width' => 'Width',
);

Use this legacy file-based approach only if you specifically need an older frontend override workflow. For new projects, prefer the translation controls built into the field editor.
