[Waiting for user feedback] Custom post type archive page link not translating

Hello,

The buttons on your homepage do not seem to be translatable with the WPML Translation Editor.

You are using "Greenlight Content Elements," and each of those custom blocks needs a
proper XML configuration to be translatable with the WPML Translation Editor.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/make-custom-gutenberg-blocks-translatable/

Usually, the author should provide a wpml-config.xml file inside the plugin folder that handles such configurations.

Our support usually does not create such config files for you, but I can offer to provide a WPML test site, on which you can install the "GreenShift - Animation and Page Builder Blocks" and I will try at least to create a config for the blocks in questions, so that we can test if a translation will be successful if the corresponding config is added.

Would this be possible?

Best regards
Andreas

Yes, this is the same issue, as for example, the "Hero Header" pattern uses a Greenlight Tag Element Custom Block as a button.

I can offer a WPML test site on which you can install the theme and its plugins and we can try to create a config that makes those buttons translatable.

Hello,
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the staging to investigate the issue further.

I have installed our plugin "Multilingual Tools" on your staging site.

If you now visit the WordPress Editor on the homepage, you will see a section at the bottom called "WPML XML Configuration" which contains a config for all Gutenberg Blocks found on the page.

You could, for example, now create a new test page that includes all the blocks that are not translatable, save the page, and obtain a config.

This config can then be saved at WPML > Settings on the tab "Custom XML Configuration".

After that, you only need to select the affected blocks on the original content, save the content, and then open the WPML Translation Editor. Now these blocks should be translatable.

I already created a config for some buttons from Greenshift for you.

Note that on the Staging, I am sadly not able to run any further tests, as WPML is not registered.

Indeed, I still needed to adjust the XML config.

Could you please give it another test now on the staging?

1) Edit the original page or template and save it again
2) Open the translation editor and complete the translation

Note that our support is not responsible for creating the XML configuration. Those issues should be reported to Greenshift.

I have adjusted the config again, and it should work now.

The current config is:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="greenshift-blocks/element" translate="1">
      <xpath>//a</xpath>
      <xpath type="link">//a/@href</xpath>
      <key name="textContent" />
      <key name="href" type="link" />
      <key name="dynamicAttributes">
        <key name="0">
          <key name="name" />
          <key name="value" />
        </key>
      </key>
    </gutenberg-block>
    <gutenberg-block type="greenshift-blocks/buttonbox" translate="1">
      <xpath>//span</xpath>
      <xpath type="link">//a/@href</xpath>
      <key name="buttonContent" />
      <key name="buttonLink" />
      <key name="linkTitle" type="link" />
      <key name="buttonAnchor" />
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

Ideal would be, if the author of the theme would include this config in a wpml-config.xml, which will be shipped with the theme inside its root directory.

Please inform the theme support about this issue.
