WP Residence – Elementor Form Widgets Not Translatable

Overview of the Issue

When using the WP Residence theme with WPML, certain Elementor form widgets, such as WpResidence_Search_Form_Builder and WpResidence_Contact_Form_Builder, are not registered for translation. As a result, their text fields are not available in our Translation Editor.

Workaround

• Go to WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration in your WordPress dashboard.
• Add the following XML configuration and save:

  <wpml-config>
    <elementor-widgets>
      <widget name="WpResidence_Search_Form_Builder">
        <fields>
          <field>form_field_use_tabs</field>
          <field>form_fields</field>
          <field>form_field_section_title_text</field>
          <field>submit_button_text</field>
        </fields>
        <fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
          <field>field_label</field>
          <field>placeholder</field>
        </fields-in-item>
      </widget>
      <widget name="WpResidence_Contact_Form_Builder">
        <fields>
          <field>form_fields</field>
          <field>gdpr_text</field>
          <field>submit_button_text</field>
          <field>email_to</field>
          <field>email_subject</field>
        </fields>
        <fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
          <field>field_label</field>
          <field>placeholder</field>
        </fields-in-item>
      </widget>
    </elementor-widgets>
  </wpml-config>
