Hi,

Thank you very much.

Please add the code below to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. (Replace it with the previous code)

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="WpResidence_Search_Form_Builder">
      <fields>
        <field>form_field_use_tabs</field>
        <field>form_fields</field>
        <field>form_field_section_title_text</field>
        <field>submit_button_text</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
        <field>field_label</field>
        <field>placeholder</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
    <widget name="WpResidence_Contact_Form_Builder">
      <fields>
        <field>form_fields</field>
        <field>gdpr_text</field>
        <field>submit_button_text</field>
        <field>email_to</field>
        <field>email_subject</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
        <field>field_label</field>
        <field>placeholder</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

Afte that please do as follows:

- Go to your Dashboard > Pages.
- Open the edit screen of the original page. You should see a pencil/circle/gear icon in the sidebar options under the "Languages" section.
- Make a small change, for example, add an extra blank space at the end of a sentence/paragraph.
- Save it.
- You should now see that a circular arrow appears beside the 2nd languages links, this means that an update is required.
- Edit the translation again and save it up to 100% translated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't understand exactly what the issue was after the suggested code. Is it related to the code?

Can you show the problem you mentioned here?

That is the same clean installation that I used to create the code.

Thanks.

My main issue right now is the advanced search results page. I don’t know which string is the correct one to translate because when I do it the search box stops to function. It’s the search form in wpresidence option, so when I go on property results search page , the search container doesn’t work if I translate it I must be translating the string incorrectly. Can I not give you access to my site to review it better?

Hi,

Thank you. Would you please check this video?

Video Summary:

The issue you reported seems unrelated to standard Elementor usage and may require a separate ticket. Since this page doesn’t use a typical widget setup, it’s important to check if the issue can be replicated on a clean installation.

If we can reproduce the problem there, it points to a compatibility issue between WPML and your theme (Residence), which I can escalate to our compatibility team.

To proceed, please provide:

Clear steps to reproduce the issue.

Details on how the page is built.

Where the theme options are configured.

The more specific you are, the faster I can confirm the issue and take appropriate action.

Thank you.

To proceed, please provide:

Clear steps to reproduce the issue.

Details on how the page is built: The page is built from Template of page in the theme. Property layout : Advanced Search Results page. So its not done with elementor or bakery, its results page from theme template.

Where the theme options are configured: themes are configured in Wpresidence Options, on left side inside wordpress,

Inside the string in WPML: wp_estate_custom_search_Bedrooms, [elementor_search_label_36996][62]3, WpResidence_Search_Form_Builder-placeholder-10f8fea-26a0bf1, [wpresidence_admin][wpestate_set_search][adv_search_label]3, wpresidence-core

There are many strings, but once i change it it conflicts the theme.

The more specific you are, the faster I can confirm the issue and take appropriate action.

Hi,

Would you please give me an exact string that you want to translate?

I searched and could not find:

wp_estate_custom_search_Bedrooms, [elementor_search_label_36996][62]3, WpResidence_Search_Form_Builder-placeholder-10f8fea-26a0bf1, [wpresidence_admin][wpestate_set_search][adv_search_label]3, wpresidence-core

Please check on the clean website. As I mentioned, you need to give me the steps to see the error there.

I also see that all the text is already translated here:
