Feature request

Problem:
The client is trying to fetch a localized string for a JavaScript file in the Gutenberg editor, but the string is not being returned in the current language of the admin screen, even after attempting to switch languages programmatically.
Solution:
We recommend using the

wp_set_script_translations

function to ensure that the JavaScript file recognizes the localized strings. This involves generating a .json file from the .po file and ensuring it is loaded through a WordPress hook. Here are the steps:

function usahello_demo_set_script_translations() {<br />    wp_set_script_translations('create-block-usahello-demo-editor-script', 'usahello-demo', plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'languages');<br />}<br />add_action('init', 'usahello_demo_set_script_translations');<br /><br />function usahello_demo_block_load_textdomain() {<br />    load_plugin_textdomain('usahello-demo', false, 'usahello-demo/languages');<br />}<br />add_action('plugins_loaded', 'usahello_demo_block_load_textdomain');

For more detailed guidance, refer to the WordPress documentation on how to handle internationalization in block editors: Internationalization in Gutenberg.

Problem:
The client created a custom Elementor widget containing an image, headline, and text, and encountered an issue where the image did not change when switching languages, despite using WPML's Media Translation.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Ensure that the image within the custom Elementor widget is stored as a URL and that the URL field is registered for translation in the XML configuration.
2. Make a small update to the source page and save the changes.
3. Update the translation and use the Advanced Translation Editor to search for the image URL. If found, replace the URL with the correct image URL for the desired language.
4. If the URL does not appear in the translation editor, it's possible that the widget and its configuration need further adjustments. We suggested replicating the issue in a WPML sandbox environment to further diagnose the problem.
5. If manual translation of the image URL is required, consider integrating the Elementor widget with WPML Media Translation using a custom integration class, which may require hiring a developer proficient in WPML.
