[Assigned] Translate my Woocommerce ACF (php registered) webshop with WPML auto translations.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload.

Please check this page and try the workaround mentioned there.

Kindly let me know if the mentioned workaround fixes the issue.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Marvin,

Please log in to this hidden link">sandbox site and add your fields code. After that, please let me know how to reproduce the issue so I can consult our compatibility team if we have another workaround.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Marvin,

Thanks for your reply. Please add the code to the hidden link">functions.php file on the sandbox site.

You can add it using the file manager plugin or Appearance-> Edit theme files.

Thanks,
Osama

Hi Marvin,

Thanks for importing the code to the sandbox site. Please check the following steps:

1- Install this hidden link">plugin
2- Follow its Usage doc to convert the field groups
3- Go hidden link">here and check if all groups are imported correctly
4- Edit each group to see if the translation preferences are correct
5- Go hidden link">here, toggle all group,s and export as JSON

If everything works correctly, you would need to delete the PHP code for the field groups.

Kindly check the result on the sandbox site and let me know if it works as expected.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Marvin,

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for your patience. Our ATE team has found that most of the problematic segments are field labels and choice fields. For example:

trans-unit extradata="Field choices"
				resname="acfml-group-7237-field-7244-choices-80ea0b719c7684b31a4c3c34d0c71234"
				restype="string" datatype="html"
				id="acfml-group-7237-field-7244-choices-80ea0b719c7684b31a4c3c34d0c71234">
				<source><![CDATA[&#xf20a; fa-cc]]></source>
				<target><![CDATA[&#xf20a; fa-cc]]></target>
			</trans-unit>

In order to fix this issue, you need to exclude the field choices and labels from a post-job. (https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/acf-multilingual-acfml-constants-and-hooks-reference/#acfml_exclude_field_group_strings_in_post_jobs)

After adding this line to the wp-config.php:

define( 'ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS', false );

Please update the page in the default language and translate it.

Best regards,
Osama
