	I need to retrieve posts in different language than current Started by: johnH-55 in: English Support Quick solution available Problem: You are trying to display posts from different multisite blogs in their respective languages using WPML, but the get_terms function returns terms from all WPML languages instead of just the desired one. Solution: To ensure that get_terms returns terms only for the desired WPML language, follow these steps: 1. Set the WPML language context: Use the do_action('wpml_switch_language', $language_code) function to switch to the desired language. 2. Get and filter terms by language: Modify the get_terms call to filter by the desired language using apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term->term_id, 'category', true, $language_code) . Here is a sample implementation: function get_terms_for_language($taxonomy, $language_code) {<br /> if (function_exists('apply_filters')) {<br /> do_action('wpml_switch_language', $language_code);<br /> $terms = get_terms(array(<br /> 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,<br /> 'hide_empty' => false,<br /> ));<br /> $filtered_terms = array();<br /> foreach ($terms as $term) {<br /> $translated_term_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term->term_id, $taxonomy, true, $language_code);<br /> if ($translated_term_id) {<br /> $translated_term = get_term($translated_term_id, $taxonomy);<br /> if ($translated_term) {<br /> $filtered_terms[] = $translated_term;<br /> }<br /> }<br /> }<br /> return $filtered_terms;<br /> } else {<br /> return get_terms(array(<br /> 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,<br /> 'hide_empty' => false,<br /> ));<br /> }<br />}<br /><br />// Example usage<br />$site_id = 2; // en-CA site<br />$locale = 'en_CA';<br />$taxonomy = 'category'; // Example taxonomy<br />$language_code = 'en';<br /><br />switch_to_blog($site_id);<br />switch_to_locale($locale);<br /><br />$terms = get_terms_for_language($taxonomy, $language_code);<br /><br />restore_current_blog(); For further details, refer to the WPML documentation.

I need to retrieve posts in different language than current

Problem:
You are trying to display posts from different multisite blogs in their respective languages using WPML, but the

get_terms

function returns terms from all WPML languages instead of just the desired one.
Solution:
To ensure that

get_terms

returns terms only for the desired WPML language, follow these steps:
1. Set the WPML language context: Use the

do_action('wpml_switch_language', $language_code)

function to switch to the desired language.
2. Get and filter terms by language: Modify the

get_terms

call to filter by the desired language using

apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term->term_id, 'category', true, $language_code)

.
Here is a sample implementation:

function get_terms_for_language($taxonomy, $language_code) {<br />    if (function_exists('apply_filters')) {<br />        do_action('wpml_switch_language', $language_code);<br />        $terms = get_terms(array(<br />            'taxonomy'   => $taxonomy,<br />            'hide_empty' => false,<br />        ));<br />        $filtered_terms = array();<br />        foreach ($terms as $term) {<br />            $translated_term_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term->term_id, $taxonomy, true, $language_code);<br />            if ($translated_term_id) {<br />                $translated_term = get_term($translated_term_id, $taxonomy);<br />                if ($translated_term) {<br />                    $filtered_terms[] = $translated_term;<br />                }<br />            }<br />        }<br />        return $filtered_terms;<br />    } else {<br />        return get_terms(array(<br />            'taxonomy'   => $taxonomy,<br />            'hide_empty' => false,<br />        ));<br />    }<br />}<br /><br />// Example usage<br />$site_id = 2; // en-CA site<br />$locale = 'en_CA';<br />$taxonomy = 'category'; // Example taxonomy<br />$language_code = 'en';<br /><br />switch_to_blog($site_id);<br />switch_to_locale($locale);<br /><br />$terms = get_terms_for_language($taxonomy, $language_code);<br /><br />restore_current_blog();
