[Resolved] BuddyBoss Profile Types cannot be translated with WPML

Hello,

thanks for getting back.

I also see you are using quite an old version of BuddyBoss plugins.

Can you please update to the latest versions and check if the issue still happens? Since there is no point in checking the issue with older versions if it might be fixed with the latest.

Then, if the issue still happens, please install also latest versions on Sandbox and see if the same issue happens. If you need a license key there, with the latest versions to see the issue, let me know and I will add a valid key there to confirm the issue.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Drazen

Hello,

I have updated to the latest versions, but I can not leave the license there, as it is our dev license key that would be needed.

It should work fine also without a license.

Can you please try now to reproduce the issue or share with me step by step guide on how to reproduce it? I have searched for Profile type option, but I do not see where to create them.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Drazen

Hello,

thanks for getting back and taking the time to help out.

I have updated further theme and the issue still happens, tried some workaround, but no luck.

I've escalated this ticket to our compatibility team.

They are taking a look at the issue and I will let you know as soon as they have updates.

Kind regards,
Drazen

Hello,

please follow the next workaround.

- From WPML > Settings > Post type translation > Set Profile Types (bp-member-type) as Not Translatable

- Open .../wp-content/plugins/buddyboss-platform/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php file.

Look for line 630:

Replace.

$member_type_name = get_post_meta( $field->data->value, '_bp_member_type_label_singular_name', true );

With:

$member_type_name = get_post_meta(apply_filters('wpml_object_id',  $field->data->value, 'post'), '_bp_member_type_label_singular_name', true);

- Open .../wp-content/plugins/buddyboss-platform/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php file.

Look for line 3908.

Just after:

$member_type = $type_obj->labels['singular_name'];

Add this:

// WPML Workaround for compsupp-6794
				if (class_exists('SitePress')) {
					do_action('wpml_register_single_string', 'Buddyboss WPML', 'buddyboss_' . strtolower($member_type), $member_type);
					$member_type = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $member_type, 'Buddyboss WPML', 'buddyboss_' . strtolower($member_type));
				}

- Go to the front end where the string appears to register the strings.

- Go to WPML > String Translation.

- Search and translate the string.

I checked and it works fine. You can use this as a temporary solution and we will be checking further and try to provide a permanent fix in the version of BuddyPress Multilingual.

Let me know how it goes and if any issues.

Regards,
Drazen
