Problem: The client is working on translating content from the SA Slider plugin using WPML and has encountered an issue where the frontend still displays the English version of the slider, regardless of the selected language. This issue arises because the shortcode generated for each language version of the slider is different, and the correct translated version isn’t being dynamically picked up. Solution: To ensure that the correct language version of the SA Slider is displayed, the client has several options: 1) Translate the shortcode itself using the WPML Translation Editor. This involves searching for and replacing the shortcode per language and adding XML code to make this shortcode compatible. Relevant documentation can be found here: Translate custom shortcodes with WPML, Numeric value translation, How to translate links. 2) Manually edit the translated page and adjust the shortcode manually. 3) Create custom code that loads the correct slider per language, for example, a list of slider numbers and their translation pairs.
If these solutions do not resolve the issue or if the SA Slider plugin is not officially compatible with WPML, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
