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

...\wp-content\themes\houzez\framework\class-houzez-property-search.php

file. In the

get_custom_search_field

function, replace the existing code at line 1315 with the following:

foreach ($options as $key => $val) {<br />if(!empty($key)) {<br />$value = $key;<br />$val = houzez_wpml_translate_single_string($val);<br />$key = houzez_wpml_translate_single_string($key);<br />echo '<option class="'.sanitize_title_with_dashes($key).'" '.selected( $key, $get_field_name, false).' value="'.esc_attr($value).'">'.esc_attr($val).'</option>';<br />}<br />}

This modification keeps the value of the field untranslated but translates the label, ensuring correct functionality in both languages.
