[Resolved] How can I translate Simple Job Board and the posts created with it?

Hello,

Please go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set the type "Jobs" to "Translatable - only show translated content".

Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/

Do the same for any related taxonomies at WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation.

Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-post-categories-and-custom-taxonomies/

Then go to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and enable the option "Show "Multilingual Content Setup" meta box on post edit screen."

Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/

Now open one of your jobs on the WordPress Editor and check the bottom section for "Multilingual Content Setup".

Here you should now see Custom Fields that are related to your jobs. Make sure to set fields that need to be translated to "Translate". Other fields, that relate to the job but do not need to be translated should be set to "Copy" so that their values are available on the translated jobs.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Alaid,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I’m happy to help you with this issue.

I suggest you go to WPML > String Translation > Search for the relevant string to translate text on the single job page and Apply Now button.
Refer documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/

If it does not help, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

We limit one issue per ticket only so I will split your issues into other tickets for better handling.

In this ticket, I will focus on the translation single job post. To translate the job post, please follow steps:

1. Go to WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation > Set the post type "jobpost" preference to "Translatable - only show translated items" > Save.
2. Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation > Search for the fields "simple_job_board_xxx" > Set the preference to "Translate" > Save.
3. Now you can translate the job post with the custom field text in the single job header from WPML > Translation Management or when editing a job post.

Refer documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks
