[Resolved] Elementors Section Title does not show up in String translation

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

About Elementor Section Title, have you tried that solution mentioned at https://wpml.org/forums/topic/elementor-section-title-doesnt-translate/#post-12124963? Please see https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/ for details.

Besides this, I see that the "WP Memory Limit" is set to 40M. WPML requires a memory limit of at least 128MB while 256MB is recommended. See https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ for detailed information. You can set WP Memory Limit in your wp-config.php file by adding following code:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

Please remember to add these lines before the line where it says:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

See https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#increasing-memory-allocated-to-php for details. Increasing WP Memory may help improve the performance.

After updating XML Config and WP Memory Limit, I suggest the followings:

- Try changing some content in this element and save. It 'll trigger a change.
- Then try scanning themes and plugins for a change. As mentioned under "Theme or plugin translation files have changed" on this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/.
- After that try searching for the strings in String Translation (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/).

Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue. Or I'll try my best to further assist you on the matter.

P.S.: For the other issue, I recommend opening a separate ticket because as per forum policy we can only handle one issue per ticket. So others looking for a particular solution can find it easily.

Regards.

Hi,

May I ask for admin access to your website to check the issue in detail? You can create a separate admin user for this purpose, which can be deleted afterwards.

Also please provide following detail to investigate/observe the issue:

- detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- links to pages in admin and on frontend
- screenshots or screen recording if needed to explain
- any other relevant information to observe/investigate the issue

Please remember to take full backup of your website and database before proceeding. However, a staging/test site is highly recommended, because I may need to try some changes/fixes on the site, which may cause conflicts with the live site otherwise. Please confirm it in your next reply or let me know if you do not agree with the mentioned.

I've set your next reply as private to share this information safely.

Before continuing on the site, I'll also need your confirmation and approval on each of the followings:

1) Is this a Live/Production or Staging/Dev site?
2) Is it OK to work on this site?
3) Is it OK to try some changes/fixes on the site and/or activate/deactivate/install a plugin on the site, which may cause conflicts with the other parts of the site?
4) Have you taken full backup of your website and database?

Please confirm, thanks.

Hi,

Sure, please take your time and reply when you are ready.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your patience and cooperation on this. I was able fix the problem.

In fact, it is not a problem but matter of little bit compatibility understanding. Since you are using an elementor widget which may not be part of standard elementor package (https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/#List-of-the-translatable-Elementor-Elements). Even if it is part of a standard package, sometimes new updates add more features which may not have been recognized by WPML so far.

To overcome this situation, WPML offers to add custom support for page builder stuff, like widgets in this case: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/.

I registered the following XML config in WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration:

<widget name="mkdf_section_title">
      <fields>
        <field type="Section Title" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
        <field type="Section Subtitle" editor_type="LINE">subtitle</field>
        <field type="Section Text" editor_type="AREA">text</field>
        <field type="Section Button Text" editor_type="LINE">button_text</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>

I added this to existing XML code, so your existing stuff stays the same.

I also set "_elementor_data" custom field to "Translate" in WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation as per the above mentioned guide.

Then finally edited the wax-seal-stamps page in elementor, did a small text change (in fact I added word Test previously and then removed it at this point) and saved to trigger a translation change.

Then edited the translation and filled the translation for these newly appeared content. I used Google Translate, so you may want to correct the translation if needed.

For rest of the pages, please use the following steps:

1) Open page for editing in elementor using default language (English)
2) Make a little change in the content of this widget, like a simple word to trigger a change in translation
3) Save and exit the elementor editor
4) Edit the Swedish translation and fill the translation for new fields
5) Complete and check on frontend

Please let me know.

Regards.
