Overview of the issue
If you have custom meta added to a taxonomy, you will not be able to translate that meta in the classic translation editor(CTE) or in xliff file or in Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).
This is a feature that we still have not implemented.
Workaround
At the current time, if you add a custom meta to a taxonomy, it can be only translated either via going to the taxonomy in the second language and changing the meta there, or by using WPML > Taxonomy Translation
I’ve been having this exact same problem on some client sites for a while now. Read the previous support tickets and have followed the advice but its a real pain and not an ideal solution, so hopefully you guys can jump on this one soon.
Hi John, I am sorry about that, we are aware of this issue, it’s on our development board and is being worked on, it is not such a trivial fix and will be released in one of our next major releases, I don’t have an ETA but I can assure you it’s not forgotten.
+1 on this. Want to get all my categories translated asap.
We are working on it.
This will be a most welcome feature as soon as it is ready. Most of the WPML/WooCommerce sites I help with have some kind of meta in the taxonomy so this feature is super important. Looking forward to it.
Yes, and I have some good news, this is already in testing and will be released after we guarantee we did not break anything by adding it.
Hi,
I have another problem : all the new recordind in the custom taxonomy do not appear in WML–> translate taxonomies.
I have created a record in the language (fr), it’s ok : it show in the list of record from the custom category, but it does not appear in the menu “WPML”–> “Translate Taxonomy” –> list. I can translate only the records already created.
It’s very disturbing…
Can you help me ?
