[Resolved] Translating Scripts

Hi Bruno

If you meant this as my last point:
But regarding shortcodes:

I created a shortcode of the script in both EN and IT (2 SC's).

Added the EN shortcode in place of the HTML widget

Translate the shortcode String

However, it too reverts to the original shortcode upon saving in the ATE. ALso changes the string shortcode back to the EN version...

Is there something that may solve this and possibly achieve the end result?

Then yes please, prepare a sandbox let's see if we can find a way to translate these shortcodes! 🙂
Hopefully, this is what you meant!

Hi Bruno

I have set up a sample display with both the original situation and the new option to be tested or worked on hopefully someone can supply a solution to this.
I did not translate though - explained why on the page.

I have supplied some basic info and images etc to explain the situation to whomever may look at it.

Let me know if you need more of anything - but it should be pretty clear on the page.

Thank you

Hi Bruno

Thats fantastic - it appears to work and will hopefully do the trick!

2 questions:

1. How can you get the Shortcodes to automatically appear in the ATE (without having to remember the shortcode name and search for it)?

2. Can you assist with the issue of the field populating the URL in the script field of the ATE - it is overwriting /wanting to add the URL to all HTML element fields.

I know it is kind of a 2nd issue (also arose from trying to solve this one) but you have some familiarity with the issue so far and would save a whole lot of confusion trying to explain to the next supporter.

Let me know if you can help.

Thank again 🙂

Thanks Bruno

Translations all work perfectly and XML registration also now allows the shortcodes to appear in the main ATE without having to search.

Just on the Translation Memory part - This means that I cannot ever use the Elementor HTML widget (or maybe even the Text Widget) with any code that begins with <script> (irrespective of any differences within the code).

They will always populate that URL in the secondary language field.

Is there anything that I could add in front of existing scripts that will throw off Translation Memory but not affect or appear on the translated page if I leave the translation field empty?

For example any invisible code or masking to solve this.

Also is there a way to NOT display those HTML Script fields anymore so nobody will accidentally add anything to those fields?

Well if that is not possible then how can we hide the html / script Field?

And do you have any experience or ideas as to what to add in front of <script> that will not show even on the primary language post?

On the page in the sandbox (at the bottom) are the examples of what is appearing in my ATE.

I don't know how to make them appear or remove them.

So, sorry I don't know how to add them to the sandbox example, as when I check the sandbox the fields do not appear???

I guess from the images in the sandbox you can see what I am referring to.
