Hi, I know the workaround of translating pages but how can I translate the category template to other languages, here is the category page rendered via template : hidden link , how can I translate this
But please note that Oxygen Builder is currently not fully compatible with WPML and there are issue. We are in contact with their team and trying to establish full multilingual functionality.
At the moment the only workaround for this would be the steps in the documentation shared by my colleague as we do not currently support the translation of templates with Oxygen Builder.
Thank you for updating me! This actually would not display as tempaltes are not translatable.
These are the steps for the workaround:
Duplicate the default language template using a plugin such as Duplicate Page.
Go to the editing screen of the template that you duplicated and edit it using the Oxygen builder.
Add the translated text to the template and click Save.
Translate the default language page.
On the default language page editing screen, use the language switcher in the top admin bar to navigate to the secondary language editing screen.
Choose the template that you translated in step 2. Make sure you select the actual template for each page and not the “Default” option.
Click to Update the page.
I think that's an outdated documentation as oxygen has changed since then, however if you can provide a demo of how it can be used that will be very helpful, Thanks
I have created a sandbox site for us to use, you can log in with the following link: hidden link
Please install Oxygen and let me know your results, that way we will test the same steps OR if you rather I can activate a private reply to take a look at your site's backend and review.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)
**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **
I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.
NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
How do you currently assign a template to the category page? Are you able to assign for example the ES template to the ES archive, and the EN template (duplicate template with manual translation) to the EN archive?
I am afraid there might be some limitations there for this workaround when it comes to archive pages.
No, that's what needed, from oxygen> template> programs-achive this is the template used for rendering categories, if you can tell how can I make them load as per language that would be a big help
1. Create 2 templates and use one per language, so one for ES and one for EN
2. Go to Pages->Edit the page and then unnder Oxygen Render page using template select the template.
So edit the ES page and assign the ES lannguage template, then edit manually the translation and assign the EN template (see screenshot)
While this will work OK for pages it will not work for archive pages unless you can assign the archive page in a similar manner.
Please let me know if any of the above information is not clear. (If not I'd be happy to record a loom video showcasing this.)
"Please note that Oxygen Builder is currently not fully compatible with WPML. We are in contact with their team and trying to establish full multilingual functionality.
Due to these compatibility issues at the moment, the translation of archives is limited.
I'd advise reaching out to Oxygen in the meantime and asking them if there is a way to set the archive page templates through code that way you could simply assign a template ID to each language.
