This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with integrating WPML with the Kadence 1.2.22 theme. Specifically, they need help creating a language widget for the header area, translating Kadence reusable patterns, and ensuring that internal links on translated pages update automatically.
Solution:
1. To create a language widget in the header area using WPML, we recommend adding a Menu-type language switcher to the Kadence header. For guidance, please review the following documentation:
https://www.kadencewp.com/blog/working-wpml/
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/
2. To translate Kadence reusable patterns, follow these steps:
- Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Post types and ensure 'kadence_element' is set to translatable.
- Go to WPML → Translation Management, find the Reusable Blocks (or Kadence Element) section, and send it for translation.
3. To bulk-adjust internal links across translations:
- Go to WPML → Settings → Translate Link Targets.
- Click 'Scan now' and adjust links to update all existing posts/pages.
