Hi. Lot's of themes use Theme Customizer nowadays and data can come from get_theme_mod. Let's say I have a theme and I use front page callout in my Theme Customizer. I can get the data with get_theme_mod( 'callout_text' ) but how do I translate that data (text string) in the front end?

Hello Sami,
Theme customizations are saved in the options table so what you need to do is create a configuration file as shown here: http://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/
This will register the text strings for translation under the "String Translation" screen (requires the "WPML String Translation" add-on)
<wpml-config>
<admin-texts>
<key name="theme_mods_twentyeleven">
<key name="callout_text" />
</key>
</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>
Replace twentyeleven in the above with the value saved in get_option( 'stylesheet' ) in your options table.
Let me know how you get on with this.

Thanks.
Hmmm I can see and translate strings in the String translation but in the front end there is still original language.
I placed .xml file in my child theme root folder.

Sami,
Can you please confirm that you are using the latest version of everything?
You can check the latest released versions under "My Account -> Downloads" on this site. Should there be a need to update, instructions to update can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/#2
Let me know if the issue persists after the update.

Yes I just updated everything and all version numbers match the latest version.
|
Sami
|
And I made the updates before I created .xml file.

Just a quick note. The same problem is with theme settings: I can see and translate strings in backend, but translations doesn't show up in front end. This is my test file in localhost.
<wpml-config>
<admin-texts>
<key name="theme_mods_foxnet2013">
<key name="callout_text" />
</key>
<key name="hopeareunus_theme_settings">
<key name="footer_insert" />
</key>
</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>
And in database table wp_icl_string_translations I can see those translations.

I found a compromise to my problem. I can use excerpt text in english page instead of get_theme_mod data.
I let you know if I find a solutions to original problem.

Just in case someone else may find this thread and would like to know how to get Theme Mods registered to String Translation here's a solution:
Use icl_translate() to register and display the string.
echo icl_translate('Theme Mod', 'callout_text', get_theme_mod( 'callout_text' ));
This function requires WPML String Translation to be active (so don't expect it to work on installs without the add-on).
Make sure that the first parameter is always 'Theme Mod', the second the modification setting and the third the WordPress call get_theme_mod($name)
Hope this is useful to someone.
