[Resolved] Homepage translation error

There was an issue with the WP MEMORY LIMIT on your site which I have solved now.

I had not issue with completing the translation of the homepage after that. Please update the missing translations now.

In case you need further assistance, please provide an example about a section or page that is causing issues with its translation.

I am not sure what you are exactly expecting to see. I see the same Korean content on the WPML Translation Editor, as I do on Frontend.

See screenshots.

Could you please provide an exact example?

The only difference is that the layout is not respected, which seems to be an issue with the Classic Translation Editor's WYSIWYG field.

The "Parts" page only seems not to work for Korean.

If I try to edit one of the "Parts" posts in any language different than English I get this message:

"You attempted to edit an item that doesn't exist. Perhaps it was deleted?"

I see the same issue for the Custom Posts in other languages, just with the difference that those are actually showing up on the archive templates.

I can confirm that the issue disappears once I disable WPML but at this point I am not sure why the issue occurs.

I took a copy of the site using "All In One WP Migration" to investigate this issue further.

Please also take note of the following:

We suggest to translate custom posts created with PODS only by using the WordPress-Editor as translation method.

This means, when editing one of the English "Parts" you need to set the "WordPress-Editor" as translation method inside the right sidebar of the WordPress Editor.

A dialog will show up. Select here to set this translation method for all posts of the same type.

Hello,

The issue here is, that "HT Mega – Absolute Addons for Elementor" is not including any compatibilty code for WPML and this is why you will have issues translating its widgets with the WPML Translation Editor.

WORKAROUND:

Example for Tabs Widget:

Added this config at WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration (tab) to make the Tabs widget translatable.

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="htmega-tab-addons">
      <fields>
        <field>htmega_tabs_list</field>
      </fields>
      <fields-in-item items_of="htmega_tabs_list">
        <field>tab_title</field>
       <field>custom_content</field>       
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

After that you will still need to edit the Tabs widget on the original content, save the page and then open the WPML Translation Editor.

For the issue with the Elementor Templates:

Inside includes\widgets\htmega_tabs.php in line 1050 add:

$item['template_id'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $item['template_id'], 'elementor_library' );

This will make sure that the correct template will get loaded in each language, as each template in each language has a different post_id.

IMPORTANT:
WPML by default supports all widgets that are shipped with Elementor and Elementor Pro.

Every Custom Elementor Widget must have an XML configuration so that it can be translated using the WPML Translation Editor.

It is the theme author's responsibility to create such a configuration in a wpml-config.xml file in the root directory of the theme or plugin. Further it is the responsibiity to apply WPML hooks when needed, to make the plugin work with WPML.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/

We also provide the following plugin, which makes creating such a config easier, but we do not recommend using it in a production environment:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-compatibility-test-tools-plugin/

If the author does not provide such a config, you can alternatively create one yourself. This config can be stored under WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration.

We offer a program for theme and plugin authors to support them on this matter which you could name as a reference to the author:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/

Alternative: Use the WordPress Editor as the translation method instead.
