Problem: When using the Houzez theme with WP All Import in a bilingual website (English and Arabic), importing Arabic properties results in issues. Specifically, WP All Import creates new Arabic taxonomy terms using the Arabic name as the slug (e.g., "شقة") instead of matching the existing translated taxonomy term ("apartment-ar"). This leads to duplicate taxonomy terms, incorrect taxonomy assignment, and broken property search results on the Arabic site. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address the issue: 1. Ensure the WPML String Translations plugin is enabled. 2. Delete any duplicate taxonomies that have been created. 3. Consolidate your data into a single CSV file, as having two separate files is not necessary. 4. Import the consolidated CSV file. This should prevent the creation of duplicate taxonomy terms and ensure correct matching with existing translated terms.

Problem: You are trying to translate custom fields in the Houzez theme for a property listing website using WPML. The issue is that when creating a property in Arabic and trying to edit it from the backend, the custom fields are written in English, and the values of these fields are stored in English in the database. This results in no search results when searching for a property in Arabic using the custom field with its Arabic value. Solution: First, ensure that the custom select field is set as "COPY" to keep the same value in the property translation and that the custom select field labels are translated in String Translation. Then, modify the code in the
This modification keeps the value of the field untranslated but translates the label, ensuring correct functionality in both languages.
