Media Translation not working with Elementor Icon and SVG.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate SVGs using Media Translation with Elementor Icon, but it only works on the Image Widget. Instead of seeing the translated media in other languages, you see the default language.
Solution:
We have escalated the issue to our developers. In the meantime, we recommend you try this workaround:
- Edit the

.../wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/managers/icons.php

file.
- Look for line 309.
- Replace:

return Svg::get_inline_svg( $value['id'] );

- With:

$value['id'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $value['id'], 'attachment');<br />return Svg::get_inline_svg( $value['id'] );

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

philB-8	Hi Drazen, I've setup Elementor and added the same szenario as on my other page. Here's the Test-Page: hidden link As you can see, the left SVG is not getting translated with media translation (Elementor Icon Widget). The right SVG is an Image Widget and is getting translated by Media Translation. Best regards, Phil

philB-8	Hello, thanks. By the way. The same problem exists for the «Wordpress Menu» Widget which is an elementor pro Widget. It doesn't translate custom links. The Menu Items are translated correctly with String Translation but no effect in the Frontend. I've added a new page in the sandbox where you can see it. hidden link Best regards, Phil

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello Phil, that is not the correct way. First, you should not translate page content via String translation, and second you are adding an existing menu there, which means you need to translate the menu first as explained in our docs: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#fully-custom-create-menus-manually Then on the translated page translated menu will show. Also please open a new ticket if you have any other issues or doubts, since we limit 1 issue per ticket and try to keep it clean for other readers and clients. Hope this helps, I will update you when I have some news on the original issue. Regards, Drazen
