justinK-16	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a Custom Field added to Elementor Pro from a Plugin. I cannot locate this in either String Translation or Admin Texts. I am not sure how to translate this or whether it needs to be added/registered in XML. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: I expected to see 'Listings Found' to either appear in String Translation or the ATE to Translate. Instead, I just can't locate it. Questions: How can I translate a Custom Field added to Elementor Pro from a Plugin? Does the Custom Field need to be added or registered in XML for translation?

Christopher Amirian WPML Supporter since 07/2020 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi, Welcome to WPML support. There is a need to have compatibility with WPML when you use a custom widget in Elementor. The developers of the Elementor addon need to create an XML file and add to the root folder of their plugin. Here is how to create the XML code: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/how-to-add-wpml-support-to-custom-elementor-widgets/ If it is a matter of just one widget and field, I can try to see if I can generate the XML code for you. YOu will be able to add it to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Code (tab) I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website. It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore. Make sure you set the next reply as private. Thanks.
