[Resolved] Elementor video playlist with vimeo videos not translating

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

Problem:

We are using the Elementor video playlist element to play Vimeo videos. When you go to translation, the playlist URL shows the youtube URL. Even the label for that URL input of the original is "Video Playlist: Youtube URL". After adding the Vimeo URL, when you go to the page, it is still playing English videos instead of French videos.

Solution:

I've checked the issue and was able to fix it by adding the following code to the WPML-> Settings-> Custom XML tab.

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="video-playlist">
      <fields>
        <field>inner_tab_title_1</field>
        <field>inner_tab_title_2</field>
        <field>inner_tab_label_show_more</field>
        <field>nner_tab_label_show_less</field>
        <field>playlist_title</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="tabs">
        <field>title</field>
        <field>youtube_url</field>
        <field>vimeo_url</field>
        <field>inner_tab_content_2</field>
        <field>inner_tab_content_1</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

1) Would you please login to this sandbox site and install Elementor? (hidden link)

After that, please create a test page using this element and translate it. If the issue is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it.

2) Could you please share your Debug information with me?
You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support)
The debug info will give me a lot of information about how your site is configured.

Best regards,
Osama
