Problem: The client is developing a site using Elementor and has created a custom dynamic tag. They are able to translate default tag fields but are unsure how to translate custom fields added to their dynamic tag.
Solution: We recommend the following steps to enable translation for custom fields in Elementor dynamic tags: 1. Ensure that the custom fields are properly configured in the WPML settings. You can refer to our documentation on how to translate custom Elementor widgets: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/how-to-add-wpml-support-to-custom-elementor-widgets/ 2. Register the custom fields for translation using the WPML String Translation interface. This involves wrapping the custom field values in gettext calls and registering them. Here is an example of how you can register a custom field:
public function render(): void {<br /> // Grab settings<br /> $text = (string) $this->get_settings( 'text_param' );<br /> $number = (int) $this->get_settings( 'number_param' );<br /> $select = (string) $this->get_settings( 'select_param' );<br /><br /> // --- WPML translation for the text field ---<br /> // Use a stable domain and a reasonably unique name to avoid collisions across pages.<br /> $domain = 'elementor-random-number-dynamic-tag';<br /> $post_id = function_exists('get_the_ID') ? (int) get_the_ID() : 0;<br /> $name = sprintf( 'text_param|post:%d', $post_id );<br /><br /> // 1) Register the original string (safe to leave in place permanently)<br /> do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $domain, $name, $text );<br /><br /> // 2) Fetch the translated version (if any)<br /> $text_translated = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $text, $domain, $name );<br /><br /> // ---- your actual output ----<br /> // (Example: echo the translated text, the random number, etc.)<br /> echo esc_html( $text_translated );<br />}
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at our support forum.
