Hi there,
when my site is in the chinese version, http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-hans
i click on the search icon and start a search.
if you type something abstract like : jkfkf for example
the results will be:
http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com/?s=jkfkf

now as you noticed it jumped back to english
when it should instead go to this url:
http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-hans&s=jkfkf

Now this might be a wpml issue or maybe a xtheme issue
so i switched to twenty-sixteen theme and tried again and it works, search in chinese, chinese results, search in English english results.
I also disabled all plugins for conflicts and left cornerstone and wpml running
but that did not fix it.

So i can only assume this is an xtheme problem. Please advise.

Hello There,

Thanks for posting in. That text is ready to be translated if you where using <ahref=”https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/”>POEDIT. Another option to translate it is to add the following code on your child theme functions.php file.

add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text' );
function translate_text($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('Nothing to Show Right Now', 'Nothing to Show Right Now TRANSLATION', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('It appears whatever you were looking for is no longer here or perhaps wasn't here to begin with. You might want to try starting over from the homepage to see if you can find what you're after from there.', "TRANSLATION HERE", $translated);

  return $translated; 
}

Hope this helps.

uhhh… sigh…
I already translated that string.
that is not the problem.
Please reread the original post.

did you check this link?
http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-hans&s=jkfkf
it’s already translated

The problem is chinese search should not jump to search results in english.

/?s=jkfkf vs /?lang=zh-hans&s=jkfkf

and please don’t tell me its wpml problem or plugin conflict because i already checked that.

Hello There,

I am another staff checking in your site. When I try the search, this is what I get;
http://prntscr.com/dvhgdi
http://prntscr.com/dvhgls

Please try clearing your browser cache or use Chrome’s incognito mode and test your site again.

[nathansjcorp]

Uh is it possible you did not actually type anything to search and just opened the link i sent you?

Here is what i’m doing step by step:
1-open browser and copy paste this link:
http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com
you are now in the english site.

2-scroll down to the bottom of the page all the way to the footer.
click on the language switcher select chinese.

3-You are now in the chinese site
please check your url it should be “http://wordpress-30009-64912-195478.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-hans&#8221;

4-Now click on the search icon (it is at the top of the page next to the globe).

5-type something random (dhdh$%^fj)

6- is your result in English or chinese?

mine is http://wordpress-30009-64912-202970.cloudwaysapps.com/?s=dhdh%24%25%5Efj

logically it should be
http://wordpress-30009-64912-202970.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-hans&s=dhdh%24%25%5Efj

PS: i cleared cache, CDN, disabled plugins -re-enabled plugins
tried this problem on 2 different servers as well as a local install.
like i mentioned in the first post i switched to “Twenty Seventeen Theme”
and it works.
I also switched to x parent theme and it is also broken.

Hi there,

Because the search eliminates all other URL parameters. This ?lang=zh-han is a URL parameter I went ahead and change your language URL format from

http://wordpress-30009-64912-202970.cloudwaysapps.com/?lang=zh-han

to

http://wordpress-30009-64912-202970.cloudwaysapps.com/zh-han/

Now, please check the search again 🙂

The search URL now become http://wordpress-30009-64912-202970.cloudwaysapps.com/zh-hans/?s=a

Thanks!

[nathansjcorp]

hey thanks that works!I did not think of that.
So for the record xtheme search will not work properly if i use lang=zh-han parameters?

Thanks for the great support!
