Discussion Board – The Archive Title and the Messages from the Settings Are Not Translatable

Overview of the Issue

When you use WPML with Discussion Board (opens in a new tab), you cannot translate the texts you enter in the plugin’s settings: the archive title, the archive description, the new topic message and the restricted message. Pages in your secondary languages show these texts in the default language.

Workaround

• Go to WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration, add this code and save:

  <wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
      <key name="ctdb_options_settings">
        <key name="archive_title" />
        <key name="archive_description" />
        <key name="new_topic_message" />
        <key name="restricted_message" />
      </key>
    </admin-texts>
  </wpml-config>

• Go to Discussion Board → Settings and save the settings once.
• Go to WPML → String Translation and translate the texts.
