I need this page translated. The timeline was created using the Osteo Timeline for WPbakery plugin.

Hi Marianna,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Could you go into WPML > String Translation and use the search field to look for the timeline strings there?

If you can find them, add the translation and check if they're translated in the secondary language.

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Please note that the "Osteo Timeline" plugin is not listed on the WPML compatibility list for the plugins - https://wpml.org/plugin/. This means that our compatibility team has not tested it yet, so it could be a compatibility issue.

I have created this clean sandbox setup on our servers here:
hidden link (one-click login)

I would need you to please set up WPML + the WPML add-ons as you have them on your site (they are already installed) and also install WPbakery and the Osteo Timeline plugins then try to recreate the issue

Please don't install anything else like plugins that are not necessary, on a clean sandbox we try to use just the WPML plugins and the plugin/theme that's part of the issue.

If the issue is going to take place on this clean setup on our servers too, then I can check this with our compatibility department.

Let me know please how that goes and what you are able to find.

Can you try to log in to my website to see if you can fix it first?

Sure, please provide me with temporary access (WP-Admin) so I can investigate this issue further.
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –

Hi,

The timeline text is added as a shortcode attribute, so you can find it by using the search field in WPML's translation editor when you translate the page.

But it adds all the text and the CSS as a single segment with some encoded strings which makes it hard to translate it (Please check the attached screenshot)

This is probably a compatibility issue, could you please try to replicate it on our testing server so I can check with our compatibility team?

Kindly check this reply for more details about replicating the issue on our testing servers: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translating-entries-that-are-part-of-a-widget/#post-14476247

is there a way to export WPML settings?

These are all paid plugins that I don't have additional licenses for.

Kindly create a copy of your site and provide a link to download it. You can use the Duplicator plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/).

The plugin will create a package file that you can download then upload again to Google Drive or Dropbox and share the download link in the next reply which I have marked as private. Then I’ll investigate the issue locally without affecting the live site and forward it to our compatibility team if needed.

Please check here for more details: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/

Thanks for your cooperation.

I sent an access request, please approve it so I can download the file.

I couldn't find more clues, so I've escalated this issue to our 2nd tier support team for further investigation.

I will update you once I get their reply.

Kind regards.

Hi,

This is probably a compatibility issue but we will need to replicate it on a sandbox site to confirm that. Unfortunately, we don't have access to the plugin as it's a paid plugin.

At the moment, I suggest translating the page manually so you can edit the text in your second language. Please try the following steps:

- Edit the page in the default language
- Switch to the "WordPress editor" from the Language section
- In the popup, select "This Page"
- Switch the admin language to Spanish from the top admin bar
- Edit the module with the WPbakery editor and translate the text there
- Update the page

I've created a recording shows the above steps here: hidden link

Let me know please if that helps.
