MEC shortcodes not showing content in translations

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

MEC shortcodes do not show content on the translated page.

Solution:

1) The shortcode shouldn't be translated, so please use the default language shortcode.

2) The events were drafted, not published, so they appear correctly on the front end after publishing them.

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. 1) Could you please login to this sandbox site and upload the MEC plugin only? (hidden link) After that, please create a test event and translate it, then use the shortcode to retrieve the data. If the issue is replicable, please let me know the steps to reproduce it. 2) Could you please share your Debug information with me? You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support) The debug info will give me a lot of information about how your site is configured. Thanks for your cooperation Regards, Osama

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi Jakob, Thanks for trying to replicate the issue. I've debugged the issue on your site further and found that the shortcode is translated while on the sandbox site, it's not, so I used the default language shortcode on the English page. The second thing is that the events are drafted, not published, so I've published some events that appeared correctly. Kindly check this page and let me know if it works perfectly. (hidden link) I hope this helps you. If you need further info, please let me know. Best regards, Osama
