Multilanguage sites with WPML and shortcodes?

Hi there,

which shortcode are you talking about exactly? Where did you place them? Translating a page/post should result in a possibility to add a different shortcode to that translated content too.

Cheers

Hi there,

that’s a very special case I guess 🙂 Building multilingual elementor templates with WPML – I guess this usecase may only be supported in case WPML allows these custom fields to be translatable.

Best

And I’m not sure it’s actually related at all. It’s strcitly related to WPML and shortcodes I believe.

Well it is related as these templates need to be translatable via WPML and that is a functionality only WPML can provide. You could integrate/implement a custom shortcode and check the current language via PHP and place/provide the actual widget as needed. But that requires a custom implementation.

Hi there,

the automatic translation won’t work, as the id attribute does not contain posts/pages but the TS widget id. I’ve added a wpml-config.xml to our dev environment:

<wpml-config>
    <shortcodes>
        <shortcode>
            <tag>ts_widget</tag>
            <attributes>
                <attribute>id</attribute>
                <attribute>sales_channel</attribute>
            </attributes>
        </shortcode>
    </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

You may add the file manually to wp-content/plugins/trusted-shops-easy-integration-for-woocommerce/wpml-config.xml and disable/re-enable the plugin. Does that work?

Cheers

Hi there,

This doesn’t seem to work as it seems to add the ID and not replace it once I translate it.

Hm, I don’t know how it should work but I guess the ID should be translatable? At least that’s what the docs say: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/#page-builder-content

Also I’m facing another issue, the widget ID of another language/chanel is not working.

You may check that by using the built-in functionality to place widgets for different sales channels (languages) via the GUI and compare the embedded code. Please check your Chrome dev tools for details.

Hi there,

please contact the TS support on details about the locations. The plugin uses Hooks provided by WooCommerce (and your theme) to place the widgets. In case of the homepage, the woocommerce_after_main_content is used and an additional check via is_shop() is made to check whether it’s the shop main page (product archive or shop page).

Cheers

Hi there,

than you might do as follows: Disable all plugins but Woo and the TS plugin and activate a default theme (e.g. TwentyX, Storefront). Please disable adblockers in your browser too to make sure requests are not blocked. Please use the chrome dev tools to check whether the scripts/snippets are embedded.

Cheers

By default, the widget will only show in the language configured. For each language available in WPML you’ll find a separate channel in the GUI – did you configure the widgets for the other language(s) too?

Maybe linking some screenshots of your configuration would help.
