Hi,

I am using frontend post submission/editing forms which allow users to select files from media library.
Adding/editing content in all active languages is made through forms embedded into pages in default language. This works except that media library popup obviously shows files assigned to a default language.

Would you provide some hints on how to switch language of media library popup with code? I guess this has something to do with WP_Query? E.g.:

global $sitepress;
$sitepress->switch_lang( xyz );
$abc = new WP_Query( $args );
$sitepress->switch_lang( zyx );

Thanks

Hello,

Support for custom work is limited, but I'd recommend reviewing our Hooks Library as a first place

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-hooks-reference/

You could tap into the database with a SQL query using global $wpdb, $sitepress;

The way the media translation works is by creating an entry in the database rather than an actual media file, maybe this will help put together a solution.

If my directions are not enough we suggest contacting one of our 3rd party contractors that specialize in custom work with WPML
