As suggested i used wpml_add_translatable_content but it did not work and return 7(WPML_API_CONTENT_EXISTS) because element_id with such integer is already in this table(after we used wp_insert_post)
I tried wpml_update_translatable_content function(as post_id i inserted random number) it works fine, i can see that new post is created in another language, but it does not connect to post, which is created in default language.
Can you help me to understand how wpml_add_translatable_content and wpml_update_translatable_content work, what parameters i have to use and what for i can use this function for?
I need a little more clarification on what you're trying to achieve, and what you mean by programmatically post in two languages. Are you trying to import a large number of contents that need translation? Could you tell me in little more about the file type you're importing or the platform you're importing from?
I noticed that the information in the link you provided was from 2012. That we have had updates since then.
I also noticed that your WordPress needs to be updated. We recommend that you back up your site before doing so. If any plugins need to be updated, please make sure to update those as well.
Could you please clarify the error you're having so that I can better assist you?
My idea is that user fills in form from front-end. Form contains the following fields:
1)Title of the post in english
2)Title of the post in russian
3)Content of the post in english
4)Content of the post in russian
and publish button.
After that post shows up on the website and if i change language of the website then i will see same post but in other language.
I resolved my issue. Could you tell me, is there better solution for that issue?
And can you explain me functions wpml_update_translatable_content and wpml_add_translatable_content
function multilingual_post_creation(){
global $sitepress;
/**
/**
Creating first post in english
*/
//arguments for post creation
$def_args = array(
'post_title' => '[en]Test post - ' . date("d.m - H:i:s"),
'post_content' => 'Text in default language goes here',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post'
);
//creating post with arguments above and assign post id to $def_post_id
$def_post_id = wp_insert_post($def_args);
$def_trid = $sitepress->get_element_trid($def_post_id);
/**
Creating translation of first post in another language. Right now for russian
*/
//arguments for post creation
$ru_args = array(
'post_title' => '[ru]Test post - ' . date("d.m - H:i:s"),
'post_content' => 'Text in russian language goes here',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post'
);
//creating post with arguments above and assign post id to $ru_post_id
$ru_post_id = wp_insert_post($ru_args);
//change language and trid of second post to match russian and default post trid
$sitepress->set_element_language_details($ru_post_id, 'post_post', $def_trid, 'ru');
}
//change language and trid of second post to match secondary language and default post trid (default language)
$sitepress->set_element_language_details($ru_post_id, 'post_post', $def_trid, 'ru');
In my case I have connected two posts with the post type (relojes):
global $sitepress;
$sitepress->set_element_language_details($insertedId, 'post_relojes', $originalPost->ID, $lang);
The documented WPML option to do the same thing it's not well documented and it seems difficult to use because of some wierd parameters...
