WaterBottle

Problem:
The client needed a way to translate the attributes of a shortcode but not its content. They were using a custom XML to register the attribute for translation but couldn't find a way to exclude the content from being translated.
Solution:
We recommended using a custom XML configuration to ignore the content of the shortcode while translating its attributes. Here is the XML configuration to achieve this:

<wpml-config>
  <shortcodes>
    <shortcode>
      <tag ignore-content="1">my-code</tag>
      <attributes>
        <attribute>title</attribute>
      </attributes>
    </shortcode>
  </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

We advised the client to apply this configuration and make minor changes to the primary language page to ensure the custom XML settings take effect.
