[Closed] Facetwp default language is wrong language in string translation

Hi,

To resolve this please go to WPML->String Translation-> Locate the strings from the plugin (you can use the domain dropdown to filter) -> bulk select all the strings in the wrong language

click on the button below "change the language of selected strings" and set it to the correct language, then you will able to translate them 🙂

Now if it's more than a few strings I suggest following the steps from our documentation to change the language of the whole plugin domain

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/

Hi!

It might be that:

- the strings are lying inside the translation basket at WPML > Translation Management > Translation Basket

- or you already created translation jobs for those strings and they are available at WPML > Translations to get translated with the WPML Translation Editor.

Also, it could be that they are already assigned to a translator.

You should be able to complete those jobs by going to WPML > Translations or cancel those jobs by going to WPML > Translation Management > Jobs.

I hope this will solve this issue for you.

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

If this content was created with Elementor, then you can not use String Translation directly.

Did you try to translate your Elementor Templates with the WPML Translation Editor?

Are all taxonomies translated at WPML > Taxonomy Translation?

I would like to offer to have a closer look at the problem and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate this issue further.

Hello,

Thank you for the information as far as I see FacetWP provided you with a filter that changes the strings according to the active language.

This further seems to work this way thanks to their own FacetWP Multilingual Addon and you might need to keep using this workaround.

Could you please confirm, if this is the issue that you are experiencing:

"When the FacetWP shortcode is being used inside an Elementor shortcode element, the label of the checkbox field are not showing the translation. In ACF, checkbox fields were created. The return value is Label. Then the post is edited with Elementor. The FacetWP shortcode [facetwp facet="test_new_checkboxes"] was inserted in the Elementor shortcode element. The labels do show for translation in ATE. Once they are translated the translation is in Strings Translation. But on the front end, the translated value is not shown. If I check the output with this code, the translated label is being passed."

If so, please let me know and take note that this issue was reported 9 months ago and we informed the author if FacetWP about it, who told us that they will solve this issue, but they could not name a timeframe yet.

We provided the following workaround for the issue, but you should use a Hello Elementor Child Theme in this case, as this might not work when using "Code Snippets":

Add the following code to the functions.php file of your Child Theme:

// WPML Workaround for compsupp-6751
function wpml_compsupp6751_translate_facet_display_value( $label, $args ) {
	if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
		$wpml_default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
		$wpml_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );

		if ($wpml_default_lang == $wpml_current_lang ) {
			do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', 'FacetWP', 'Facet Display Value : '.substr($label, 0, 10), $label );
		}	
		// Apply the translation to the string
		$label = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $label , 'FacetWP', 'Facet Display Value : '.substr($label, 0, 10) );
	}
    return $label;
}
add_filter( 'facetwp_facet_display_value', 'wpml_compsupp6751_translate_facet_display_value', 10, 2 );

Best regards
Andreas
