Dear Support Team,

I am encountering an issue with the WPML plugin where the Yoast FAQ structured data section is not visible in the advanced translation editor. Could you please provide guidance on how to access and translate the Yoast FAQ structured data block within this editor?

Thank you for your assistance with this matter:

You can see the FAQ here - everything else is translated.

Hello Ralph,

this seems to be a known issue and is escalated to our devs.

Can you please try the next workaround:

Add next code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="yoast/faq-block" translate="1">
      <key name="questions">
        <key name="*" />
      </key>
      <key name="innerContent">
        <key name="*" />
      </key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

- Edit the post-translation with the native editor
- Recover block
- Update the translation and visit frontend

Let me know how it goes, regards.

Hello Dražen,

Thank you so much for your swift response. I tried the solution, but I'm not quite sure if I understood correctly how to follow the steps you proposed.

In the end, I discovered that I can find a workaround using shortcodes by replacing the shortcode for the German FAQ with the shortcode for the English FAQ via the Divi Visual Builder on the English page.

I assume that once I edit the German page, I will have to replace the shortcode on the English page again. Is there a way for the German shortcode to be automatically replaced by WPML (like a translation) with the shortcode for the English FAQ?

Many thanks, Alexander

Hello Alexander,

thanks for getting back.

Yes, that is almost the same workaround we suggested, just in paste you had to add that code, for this to work correctly.

There would be a possibility of switching the WPML editor completely for that page, but I would not recommend this and suggest using this workaround until we have a permanent solution.

I will update you when there is some news from our side, but it will take a while.

Regards,
Drazen
