[Closed] Youtube block's url appears twice in translations, while caption is missing

Hi Kor,

Actually, I am the one who started that topic.

I thought it worked at first, but actually never did.

We've tried both setting up this config from the interface, and from the code. It never worked.
It's still in place, but I had to stop translating pages with videos through CTE since even with this setting applied, I couldn't get my translated content properly rendered when including a video block. Finally, the topic was closed, so couldn't let you guys know, plus I had busy with more urgent WPML related issues.

By the way, the setup you mention is in place, and obviously still doesn't work.

I tested it with only WPML + string translation active + Storefront theme.
exact same issue.
Please Check this screencast, which shows there's block invalid content.

Best Regards,

Hi Kor,
I set my current environment to minimal: WPML + String translation + Media translation only + Storefront standard theme. Then I encountered the issue, twice, with brand new, minimal content.

Have you guys tried to replicate it on a clean install?

Thanks

I tried to replicate the issue on your test environment, and failed.

So I did further testing on my local env. And it drilled down to the case where :
- removing the setting
- clearing WPML's cache (from Support troubleshooting > Support > Clear the cache in WPML)
- Create a new content and translate it

Would sove the issue

In our case, this was difficult to check, because we implemented it both from the code AND the admin > WPML > Setting > XML.
And since both declarations would work, noticing a change would rely on
- removin the conf from the code
- from the admin
- clearing WPML's cache
- testing on a brand new content

If one of this step was missing, you can't notice a change.
Which is bad, since this means I'll need to recreate ALL video blocks :((

Anyways. I think I can now confirm the issue is caused by this WPML config since, adding this configuration + clearing WPML's cache on your test env makes the issue occur.

The guilty configuration is:

<wpml-config>
<gutenberg-blocks>
<gutenberg-block type="core/embed" translate="1">
<key name="url" type="LINE" />
<xpath>//figure/div</xpath>
</gutenberg-block>
<gutenberg-block type="core/video" translate="1">
<key name="id" />
<xpath>//figure/video</xpath>
</gutenberg-block>
</gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

I checked the previous ticket, and noticed a tiny difference with syntax of YOUR code config and ours: the <key> tags closing syntax. It's separate in yours, not in ours.

<wpml-config>
<gutenberg-blocks>
<gutenberg-block type="core/embed" translate="1">
<key name="url" type="LINE"></key>
<xpath>//figure/div</xpath>
</gutenberg-block>
<gutenberg-block type="core/video" translate="1">
<key name="id"></key>
<xpath>//figure/video</xpath>
</gutenberg-block>
</gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

But I tested that as well, and it doesn't make any difference. As long as this setup is enabled, the video blocks can't be translated properly.

I just added it and cleared the cache on the test env, so that you can test it.

I'm sorry, it looks like you didn't understand my feedback.

What I found out, is that the custom setup, as advised in the post mentionned int #2, seems to be what causes the issue.
Indeed, If I:
- Get rid of this custome setting from my child theme code
- Get rid of this custome setting from WPML > Settings > XML ,
- Clear WPML's cache
- Create a new post, with video block
>>> I **don't** encounter the issue anymore.

So there's nothing to "fix", it seems I just need to get rid of this custom setting.

Still, I don't understand why this setup was needed at some point, and why now it does break the content.

This is a different issue. I was OK with how the caption displays in the editor.
Do you mean the presence of a captions changes the behavior?
Do you mean there's no issue if there's no caption?

Hi,

Indeed, it seems to work and now shows separate segments for the URL and the caption.

But I still don't get:

- Why a custom setup is required for this native, and widely used block?

- If it's necessary, and just a matter to keep the video and Caption in separate segments?

- Why the custom configuration is different from the one that's been given on the other ticket?

Overall, why not standardizing this setup if it's the way to go?

Thanks
