Problem:
The client was trying to translate permalinks slugs for the custom taxonomies set from the Houzez theme but encountered issues where the expected translated slugs were not appearing, and instead, the original language slug was still being used. Additionally, the client faced 404 errors on the translated pages.
Solution:
Note: While using the theme Houzez, make sure that you translate the custom taxonomies that come with the theme only from the page: WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomies Translation section (all the taxonomies that come with the theme are set here). You shouldn't add the strings that end in "_rewrite_base" for translation in the WPML -> String Translation, as it will give error 404 on the translation pages.
For the strings that show on the property page (ex: "Garage size" or "Description"), you should check on WPML -> String Translation and translate those strings from there.
1. We recommended flushing the website's cache and then navigating to WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks to click the "Save" button, which flushes the permalinks.
2. We advised checking the documentation for using the Houzez theme with WPML, specifically for translating taxonomies:
3. We instructed the client to add strings for translation from WPML -> String Translations -> Translate texts in admin screens, and to change the string language to "BG" as they are set to English by default.
4. We clarified that the string "features" from the domain "houzez_settings]property_feature_rewrite_base" should not be translated in WPML -> String Translation, as it is should be translated in WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomies Translation section.
5. For the author page translation, we explained that the bio/description found on the author's page in the backend is translatable using WPML -> String Translation -> More options. Also, the theme Houzez has a custom post type "Agents" and offers the possibility to translate it as any other default post type.
