    Hi,
    Beautiful Plugin!

    The translation is great, but some text in shortcodes like this one, don’t work.

    What do I need to change?

    [nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”h6″ text_direction=”default” font_line_height=”1″]Automation Solutions[/nectar_responsive_text]

    [nectar_cta btn_style=”text-reveal” heading_tag=”span” link_type=”regular” button_color=”extra-color-1″ text_color=”#F4F2EF” button_border_thickness=”0px” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” icon_family=”none” link_text=”Schedule a Private Consultation” padding_top=”0.5em” padding_bottom=”0.5em” padding_left=”1.4em” padding_right=”1.4em” url=”/contacts”]

    Hi @alquimia,

    Thanks for your kind words — glad you’re enjoying the plugin!

    At the moment, our current version doesn’t support translating shortcode attributes or the inner content inside shortcodes.

    We do plan to add support for translating shortcode inner content in a future update, as that’s generally safe to handle. However, translating shortcode attributes is more complicated. Attributes often contain dynamic values (like those used in WP_Query, taxonomy terms, or other functional parameters), and automatically translating them could break how the shortcode works.

    Because of that, shortcode attribute translation isn’t something we can safely enable by default. That said, we’ve added this as a feature request to our development list so we can explore possible solutions.

    If you have a specific use case, feel free to share — it helps us prioritize improvements!

    Thank You,
    Aniket

    Hi @alquimia,

    Thanks for sharing the shortcode details — that really helps!

    For now, you’ll need to translate that content manually. Our plugin doesn’t currently handle translation for text inside shortcodes or their attributes.

    We’ll definitely look into adding support for translating shortcode inner content (like “Automation Solutions”) in a future update — we can’t promise a timeline yet, but it’s something we’ll try to include.

    As for shortcode attributes (like link_text="Schedule a Private Consultation"), we’ve added this as a feature request. Since these values can affect how the shortcode works, we need to be careful and explore the best way to handle it safely.

    Appreciate your feedback — it helps us improve!

    Thank You,
    Aniket

    Hi @alquimia,

    Thank you — we understand your point. Since AutoPoly is used by many agencies and users worldwide, improving this will definitely help a lot of people.

    We’ll keep this in mind and do our best to improve support in future updates. Really appreciate your feedback!
