Hi,
I have a feature request, but not sure where to post it.
It would be great to have a filter option when on a page/post/custom post type overview:
"translated' and "not translated".
So you can filter out any posts you have already translated, and see only the ones that still need translation. Or the other way around. It regularly happens that I am hired as WPML consultant, and translations have to be made for hundreds of posts. Having an overview of only the remaining items would be a great help.
Hi Waqas,
thanks for your reply.
No, I do not mean in the WPML Translations page. I mean in the regular WordPress overview pages for pages, posts, custom post types. Example: WP-admin > left side menu > Posts.
Well IMO, you can still achieve that from the Translation Management dashboard. You can filter by post type, language and status.
I discussed with the team about the feasibility of this feature request. I'll request more detail about how the proposed feature 'll be more helpful?
On the other hand, yes, on the TM there are no number of counts for the found results, which can be helpful finding how much is there. This can be considered a good update in TM dashboard.
However, I come across a lot of different situations and knowledge levels. For example I have encountered numerous websites where the translations were actually created manually whilst in the default language. So you have a list of say 200 posts, each translated into 5 languages. That makes a list of 1000 posts. Then I am asked to sort out the mess and set things up properly. So I go in and change the language of the translations and connect them to the default language post. Having the option for an overview of what is not translated yet would be a blessing.
That is just one example, I've seen numerous situations like this or similar. Then there are a lot of content managers that are familiar with the WP interface, but not with WPML. Letting them see where they still need to translate, from the overview they are used to would also be beneficial.
I also think it's probably not something that would be very complicated to add.
I realize there are all situations where WPML was not set up properly, or there is a lack of knowledge. However, that is reality in many cases...
