JetSmartFilters - Elementor Widgets Strings Not Translatable

Overview of the issue

When using JetSmartFilters with Elementor, you might experience the following issue: strings from JetSmartFilters’ Elementor widgets – such as the «Search» button label, «Remove Filter» text, and pagination controls like «Previous,» «Next,» and «Load More» – are not available for translation in WPML.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

• Add the following in «WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration» and click on «Save»:

  <wpml-config>
    <elementor-widgets>
      <widget name="jet-smart-filters-search">
        <fields>
          <field>apply_button_text</field>
        </fields>
      </widget>
      <widget name="jet-smart-filters-apply-button">
        <fields>
          <field>apply_button_text</field>
        </fields>
      </widget>
      <widget name="jet-smart-filters-remove-filters">
        <fields>
          <field>remove_filters_text</field>
        </fields>
      </widget>
      <widget name="jet-smart-filters-pagination">
        <fields>
          <field>prev_text</field>
          <field>next_text</field>
          <field>load_more_text</field>
        </fields>
      </widget>
    </elementor-widgets>
  </wpml-config>
          

• After saving, make a small edit to each widget’s content and re-save the translations.
