Hello,

Thank you for contacting WPML support team,

We apologize for the delay in response, we have a particularly busy queue at the moment and are working through issues as quickly as possible.

While the CartFlows plugin is not officially listed as compatible with WPML yet (as seen here: https://wpml.org/plugin/?wpv_view_count=120064&wpv-plugin-functionality=0&wpv_post_search=Cartflows&wpv-wpcf-recommendation-flag=&wpv_filter_submit=Search), the following steps have helped other users successfully translate these items:

Create a CartFlow in the Original Language

Build your CartFlow as you normally would, using the default language.
Set Post Types as Translatable

Navigate to WPML > Settings > Post Types and set cartflows_step and cartflows_flow to translatable.

Duplicate the CartFlow for Translation

Use WPML's duplicate feature to create a copy of the CartFlow in the secondary language. Detailed instructions are available here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/

Translate Independently

Edit the duplicated CartFlow using the WordPress Standard Editor. In the Language box, click Translate independently to unsync the secondary language page. This prevents the design or translations from being overwritten when the default language page is updated. More details can be found here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

Clone Each Step

Use CartFlows’ "Clone Step" feature for each step in the flow. Instructions can be found here:
hidden link

Delete Original Steps and Save Translations

Save the translated texts locally (e.g., in a notes app), as you'll need to delete the original steps. Once deleted, copy the translated texts back into the appropriate fields.

Edit and Update Steps

Edit the cloned steps to update titles and links to the next step in the flow, then save the changes.

Lastly, I’d recommend reaching out to the CartFlows authors and encouraging them to join WPML’s Go Global program for full compatibility. You can find more details about the program here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Hello there,

Thank you for your reply!

I have followed the steps successfully until here -

Translate Independently

Edit the duplicated CartFlow using the WordPress Standard Editor. In the Language box, click Translate independently to unsync the secondary language page.

I have done that, however now when I attempt to edit the page with the elementor editor, the editor doesn't want to load

Thank you!

Hello,

I would like to ask for temporary access to your test site’s wp-admin and FTP to investigate the issue further.

Please let me know which cartflow post should I focus on if there are multiple.

If necessary, I may need to install File Manager plugin to access to your files too.

It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Hello,

Just to make sure, it is the checkout page "kasse" right?

If that the case, I'm able to open the translation with Elementor : hidden link

Here is the link to edit the Spanish checkout page, for example: hidden link

If that's not the concerned page, please share a link of it,

I can edit the page now but nothing is working.

How can I edit the fields? I cant duplicate the checkout.

Please try to do it and you will see.

Hi,

I see what you mean, and it doesn't seem the original content can be edited either : hidden link

The form is getting loaded dynamically from your cartflow settings. I'm not honestly familiar with how this plugin work, and when I edit the spanish cartflow, I see it translated : hidden link

Am I checking the right post? could you guide me on how you usually edit a cartflow? I cannot find any flows set here : hidden link

Best,
