[Assigned] I can't acccess the Spanish version of the site to trigger all strings that are front end view only...

My apologies, I see that we do recommend the plugin:
https://wpml.org/plugin/directorist-business-directory-plugin/

There is also a known issue that Elementor widgets and Gutenberg blocks cannot be translated, and we have already contacted the author about this:
https://wpml.org/errata/directorist-gutenberg-blocks-elementor-widgets-cannot-be-translated/

I will create an extensive report for the issues I found and escalate internally so that our team can try to contact the author again.

Note that our team will not be able to solve those issues, as we have no influence on the code of third-party plugins, but we will try to get in contact and recommend necessary changes.

This is correct, and if our team does not obtain the cooperation of the author, we will need to consider not recommending the plugin, until all open issues are solved.

I am about to create a report tonight that sums all open issues of my test and then escalate internally to the compatibility team.

We might be able to provide workarounds for at least some of the issues, but I need to ask you for some patience.

Kindly take note that currently, I am only running the following plugins on the sandbox:

- Directorist - Business Directory Plugin
- Directorist WPML Integration
- WPML Multilingual CMS

Result:
The following shortcodes are not working in a second language:

[directorist_all_listing]
[directorist_add_listing]
[directorist_search_listing]
[directorist_author_profile]
[directorist_category]
[directorist_location]
[directorist_search_listing]
...

The main issue here seems to be that those shortcodes are not considering any translated listings.

The only translated pages that work as expected on my test are the login page and the dashboard.

I am escalating this issue now to the compatilbity team and will keep you updated in case the team comes up with a workaround.

I suggest we first focus on solving this issue and then create another escalation for the Elementor Widgets - if still needed.

I just realized something in my sandbox today.

Each listing has a Directory Type, and currently, all listings use the Business Type.

If I visit the translated pages on the sandbox and select "Business" I can see the translated listings, and the "All listings", "Add listing" or "Search form" will work as expected.

See screenshot.

Example:
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

Page with widgets:
hidden link

It also works for the translated Elementor Widgets, if you select the proper directory type filter.

Please take a look into this and let me know if you have further questions.

This said, the translated pages and Elementor widgets do work, I am simply not understanding why on translated pages I first need to select the directory type, and on original pages there is no such select option.

I can no longer confirm that Directorist is not translatable; it is just unexpected that there is a directory type filter on translated pages but not on original pages. I am consulting this with the compatilbity team.

I am further escalating regarding the missing custom XML configuration for the Elementor widgets.

Of course, our team will take a closer look at this. I only need to ask you for some patience.

Thank you for the provided details and your cooperation!

I have not tested to translate the base slug and would suggest using in this case the same slug atbdp_listing_types in both languages.

Indeed, you would need to create some translations to confirm if the issue is solved.

For now, make sure that my suggested custom XML config is saved inside WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration.

Also, revise WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation for proper settings. Check also after clicking "Show system fields".

You can use my sandbox as a reference for the correct settings:
