Overview of the issue

When using Houzez Theme, some strings and widgets cannot be translated, namely :
– Houzez Contact Form > Sumbit buttom
– Houzez Grid Builder > URLs
– Submit button from comments.php (Post comments form)
– Houzez Custom Carousel

Workaround

1- For Grid Builder, Contact Form widgets and Custom Carousel, add the following XML in WPML > Setting > Custom XML Configuration:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="houzez_elementor_contact_form">
      <fields>
        <field>form_name</field>
        <field>form_fields</field>
        <field>button_text</field>
        <field>email_to</field>
        <field>email_subject</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
        <field>field_label</field>
        <field>placeholder</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
    <widget name="Houzez_elementor_grid_builder">
      <fields>
        <field>image>url</field>
        <field>image>alt</field>
        <field>grid_title</field>
        <field>grid_subtitle</field>
        <field>more_text</field>
        <field type="LINK">more_link>url</field>
        <field>more_text_d</field>
        <field>properties_text</field>
        <field>property_text</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
    <widget name="houzez_custom_carousel">
      <fields>
        <field>carousel_title</field>
        <field>carousel_tagline</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="slides">
        <field>content</field>
        <field>title</field>
        <field>read_more_text</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>
 

Then apply a small edit to the post for these new fields to load in the translation editor.

2- For the „Submit“ button :

• Open ../wp-content/themes/houzez/comments.php
• Look for „submit-button“ in line 55
• Replace

  value="%2$s" 

  with

  value="%4$s" 

• The code should look like this after the change :

  'submit_button' => '<input style="text-transform:capitalize;" name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" class="submit btn btn-primary" value="%4$s">', // Customize the button class
