Carrousel strings not included

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are unable to translate the text in the carousel slides on your homepage, which are created using a plugin.
Solution:
We recommend adding a custom XML configuration to enable the translation of the carousel text fields. Follow these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration.
2. Add the following code:

<wpml-config>
  <shortcodes>
    <shortcode>
      <tag>dnxte_coverflowslider_child</tag>
      <attributes>
        <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_alt</attribute>
        <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_text</attribute>      
        <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_content</attribute>
      </attributes>
    </shortcode>
  </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

3. Make a minor change to the original page (e.g., add an empty space) and save it.
4. Update the translation, and you should see the carousel fields available for translation.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

julieb-9	hey I tired something and it seems to work : I switch the website to english and activated the visual builder. I can translate the slides and save and it works... is it possible or will it get overrite back to french eventually since its not made in the WPML translation system?

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	You can try to edit the English translation using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor. Finish the translation up to 100% and save it to see if it will eventually override the manual translation of the carousel that you performed.

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Yes, that'd work. We can work in parallel in the staging site to find a fix for the issue that can be applied to the live site afterwards.

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hey there, Thank you for reproducing the issue to the sandbox. I checked this out but so far I couldn't find a fix for it. I asked my colleagues to have a look at this issue in order to see if there's anything I'm missing. I'll come back here as soon as one of my colleagues reply back to me (which it shouldn't take long). Thanks,

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hello Julie, Upon further review, our 2nd tier support team was able to find an XML code to include those fields for translation. Please go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML configuration and add the following code: <wpml-config> <shortcodes> <shortcode> <tag>dnxte_coverflowslider_child</tag> <attributes> <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_alt</attribute> <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_text</attribute> <attribute encoding="allow_html_tags">coverflowslider_content</attribute> </attributes> </shortcode> </shortcodes> </wpml-config> After that, please make a minor change to the original page, add an empty space for example and save it. Update the translation and you should see the carousel fields available for translation now. We performed these steps in the sandbox and we've been able to translate those fields in there. Thank you, please let me know if you need help with those steps. Mateus
