Background of the issue:
I was experiencing an issue with the translation of a radio meta field using 'Manual Input' in Crocoblock. The issue concerns the meta field 'kuenstler_instrument' of the Custom Post Type (CPT) 'kuenstler'. WPML was not translating the field options correctly. While the German version works perfectly, the English version does not translate the field options. I have already contacted the Crocoblock Support regarding this issue. They gave me the following instructions: For multi-optional fields like Radio, Checkbox, and Select, we need to use another approach by creating a glossary: hidden link Glossaries in our context are simply sets of value + label pairs that can then be used as a source of options for meta fields, form fields, and filters. To use glossaries in custom fields, check out this tutorial: hidden link We also need the glossaries to translate the meta fields. Follow this step-by-step guide: 1. Here is the glossary - hidden link Note that you need to format the option values correctly - use only lowercase letters in Latin with no spaces. You can separate words with dashes and underscores. 2. Meta field of the glossary - hidden link 3. Then, proceed to string translation and translate the meta field's label - hidden link 4. Add the translation for the glossary options (only their labels!) - hidden link Here is the translated meta field hidden link
Symptoms:
The string translation is not working. The languages are mixed up. Some German words are shown in the English column and vice versa.
Questions:
What is the issue with the string translation?
How can I resolve the issue of mixed-up languages in the translation?
Before this thread gets assigned to my colleague, I'd like to offer some initial guidance or potential solutions.
The instructions from Crocoblock support are accurate. Ensure the 'Save as array' option is enabled for the translation to appear correctly. If everything is configured as per the Crocoblock instructions, the translation should display properly on the frontend. If translations are mixed across languages, use String Translation to set the correct language and translate the text accurately.
Please carefully follow all the instructions and I hope they will help. Please feel free to reach us if you need further assistance, we wilkl be happy to help.
