[Closed] Translating NextGen gallery titles

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please check our guide and follow the mentioned steps. (https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/translating-nextgen-gallery-using-wpml/)

If this doesn't help, please log in to this Sandbox site and install the NextGen plugins. (hidden link)

After that, please create a gallery and translate it to replicate the issue. If the issue is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for your patience. Our compatibility team has found a workaround for this issue. Please check the following steps:

1- Open .../wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/templates/CompactAlbum/default-view.php file
2- Look for line 12
3- Replace the following line

foreach ( $galleries as $gallery ) {

With

foreach ( $galleries as $gallery ) {
		// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7102
		if (class_exists('Sitepress')) {
			$string = $gallery->title;
			$textdomain = 'WordPress';
			$string_name = 'WPML Workaround: '.substr($string, 0, 20);

			$wpml_default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
			$wpml_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );

			if ($wpml_default_lang == $wpml_current_lang ) {
				do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $string );
			}	
			// Apply the translation to the string
			$gallery->title = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $string , $textdomain, $string_name);
		}

4- Visit the page where you added your Album
5- Go to WPML > String Translation and translate the new string

Please note that you may need to delete the transients in order to see the changes in the front end. You can use a plugin for it.

I've applied the steps to the sandbox site. Kindly check if it works correctly. (hidden link)
