This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) with WPML and has set up the Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual. However, the field choices are not being translated in the frontend despite translating the labels in WPML>>String Translation. The features section with bullet points is not translated across all languages.
Solution:
We recommended using the
get_field_object
function instead of
get_field
to fetch the field data correctly. This change should allow the field choices to display the translated values.
Here is the modified code snippet to implement in the functions.php file of the child theme:
// Create shortcodes for individual fields without titles
function generate_individual_field_shortcodes_no_title() {
// List of fields to create shortcodes for
$fields = [
'living_area',
'views',
'laundry',
'bathroom',
'kitchen_and_dining',
'bedroom',
'media_and_entertainment',
'miscellaneous',
'home_safety',
'outdoor_spaces',
'family-friendly',
'parking_and_facilities',
'languages_spoken',
'nearby',
'house_rules',
'cancellation_prepayment',
'refundable_damage_deposit',
'payment_methods'
];
foreach ($fields as $field) {
// Dynamically generate shortcode callback for each field
add_shortcode($field . '_list', function() use ($field) {
ob_start(); // Start output buffering
$fields = get_field_object($field); //Get field data
$options = $fields['value'];
// Display labels.
if( $options ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $options as $option ): ?>
<li><?php echo $fields['choices'][$option]; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif;
return ob_get_clean(); // Return the output and end buffering
});
}
}
add_action('init', 'generate_individual_field_shortcodes_no_title');
