I am trying to translate image excerpts with Media Translation, but it seems it doesn't support newlines.
I have tried with '', '\n' and the simple enter but after i save the translation it removes them (except for the '\n' which is stored as text).

Is there a way, even by code with an action or a filter, to keep newlines?

Best Regards

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WPML support.

I've checked your screenshot and I think I know what you're trying to do there. These media fields are actually being sanitized.

To prevent this, you can use this workaround:-

IMPORTANT : Please make sure you've backed up.

Edit the file \wpml-media-translation\classes\media-translation\class-wpml-media-save-translation.php line 53 to line 61 and replace

if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['title'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_title'] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['translation']['title'] );
			}
			if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['caption'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_excerpt'] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['translation']['caption'] );
			}
			if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['description'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_content'] = sanitize_text_field( $_POST['translation']['description'] );
			}

with

if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['title'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_title'] = ( $_POST['translation']['title'] );
			}
			if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['caption'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_excerpt'] = ( $_POST['translation']['caption'] );
			}
			if ( isset( $_POST['translation']['description'] ) ) {
				$post_array['post_content'] = ( $_POST['translation']['description'] );
			}

Then, please try again and see if it works for you.

Thanks!

Kor
