[Resolved] Split: 3lines hamburger in the main nav menu is still in English

Hello,

I have added a custom code workaround in your functions.php to ensure that the correct translated header template is loaded.

add_filter( 'redux/options/kiddino_opt/option_value/kiddino_header_select_options', 'kiddino_translate_header_template_id' );

function kiddino_translate_header_template_id( $value ) {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return $value;
    }

    if ( ! empty( $value ) ) {
        $translated_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $value, 'elementor_library', true );

        if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) ) {
            return $translated_id;
        }
    }

    return $value;
}

add_action( 'wp', 'kiddino_fix_page_header_template_id' );

function kiddino_fix_page_header_template_id() {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return;
    }

    if ( ! is_singular() ) {
        return;
    }

    $post_id = get_queried_object_id();

    if ( empty( $post_id ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $settings = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_page_settings', true );

    if ( empty( $settings ) || ! is_array( $settings ) ) {
        return;
    }

    if ( ! empty( $settings['kiddino_header_builder_option'] ) ) {
        $translated_id = apply_filters(
            'wpml_object_id',
            $settings['kiddino_header_builder_option'],
            'elementor_library',
            true
        );

        if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) && $translated_id != $settings['kiddino_header_builder_option'] ) {
            $settings['kiddino_header_builder_option'] = $translated_id;
            update_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_page_settings', $settings );
        }
    }
}

Next, please open the translated header template in Elementor and make sure to set the correct off-canvas (sidebar) template there as well. This is a one-time adjustment, as the setting needs to be configured per translated template.

Please note that this issue is caused by how the theme handles template IDs and is not fully WPML-compatible out of the box. Since this involves third-party theme code, we are not able to maintain or guarantee this workaround long-term.

I recommend reaching out to the theme author and sharing this behavior with them, so they can implement a proper WPML-compatible solution in future updates.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

For the footer, it is unfortunately the same situation as with the header. The theme (Kiddino builder) is always loading the default language template, so WPML cannot automatically switch to the translated footer. This is why I added a small custom workaround for the header—to show how it can be handled.

The same type of custom code would be required for the footer as well. However, I’m afraid we’re not able to continue adding and maintaining custom compatibility fixes for third-party themes, especially since there are multiple issues already appearing. This needs to be properly handled at the theme level.

Please contact the theme author and share this with them, as they need to adjust how header/footer templates are loaded to be WPML-compatible / join or program or please use WPML compatible theme:

Regarding as I mentioned before to avoid confusion and delays and since we limit 1 issuer per ticket, I have opened new ticket for you and one of my colleagues will take over and help.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hello,

You can start a live chat session with our support, if a supporter is available, using the following link:

For the header and footer issues, as explained earlier, this would need to be adjusted by the theme developers in their code for full compatibility with WPML or best is to use WPML officially compatible themes.
