We’re ready with an update for WPML which fixes a number of edge cases with String Translation.
This update covers:
- Fix for translation of some strings not appearing – the cause was WPML looking for strings by value instead of by name
- Fixed availability of REST API in a default language when a site has “Language URL format” set to “Different languages in directories” and “Use directory for default language” option is checked.
- Added a new admin notice warning about disabled REST API on the backend, which is required for WPML to work correctly.
- Added translation support to Elementor’s popup.
- Adjusted styles of the Language metabox on the post edit screen to match WordPress 5.3 styling.
- Restored functionality to translate page builder strings using the String Translation interface.
- Implemented a better handling of missing language folders for custom MO files.
- Always display the MO pre-generation button in the troubleshooting page when there’s at least one custom translation.
- Fixed a warning on the WPML -> Theme and Plugins Localization page when the plugin was removed.
- Fixed a warning from WooCommerce Multilingual when some plugins were using get_terms without taxonomy argument.
