[Waiting for user feedback] Elementor product sale dynamic tag label translation

Hello,

When translating the page using the Advanced Translation Editor, please try to search the text in the text field on the top right corner.

If the text is not available, please let me know, and I will try to replicate the issue on a test site, and we will provide a solution.

Best regards
Andreas

My apologies, as I was a little too fast with my reply.

I hope you have not yet made this change, as I was not expecting that you would use the Classic Translation Editor.

If you switch to the Advanced Translation Editor, you will need to redo the translations, as it is not possible to keep translations from the Classic Translation Editor inside the Advanced Translation Editor.

It is sadly only possible to switch from the Advanced Translation Editor back to the Classic Translation Editor, without losing translations.

I created a test site today with Elementor PRO, WooCommerce, and WPML, and I was able to confirm that this field is not yet translatable.

To make the field translatable, please add the following markup at WPML > Settings > on the tab "Custom XML Configuration":

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="text-editor">
      <fields>
        <field>text_columns</field>
        <field>__dynamic__>editor</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

After that, edit the widget in Elementor on the original content, save the page, and then open the translation editor. This should work with the Classic Translation Editor or the Advanced Translation Editor.

The only problem here is that on ATE, you might still need to search the text, and on both editors, the text will appear this way:

%7B%22text%22%3A%22Sale!%20Foo%20Bar%22%7D

This string is a URL-encoded JSON object. When decoded, it becomes:

{"text":"Sale! Foo Bar"}

This means that Elementor is, in this case, not only sending the raw text. This is kind of a known issue for which we do not yet have a general solution.

Workaround:
Edit the text on the translation directly inside Elementor.

Alternatively, if you have a Child Theme or Custom Code Snippet in place, we could try to apply the following solution:
