Hello, If I am not mistaken, your theme includes some custom Elementor widgets. And the content added through those widgets aren't translated, right? This is because these new Elementor elements are not integrated and then WPML does not recognize them. To fix the problem, you need to follow these steps: Best Regards, |

Hello, I don't think it's related to global elements, but to unregistered Elementor elements (created by the theme). And the documentation I sent does not have a video. So I am confused 🤔 May I take a look at your site? It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated. The information you will enter is private, which means only you and I can see and have access to it. **IMPORTANT** Best Regards, |

Hello, I reviewed the homepage translation in Spanish. When I open it in the Advanced Translation Editor it's not 100% complete and there are some segments marked as "Flagged for later". This is probably related to this problem: Can you please try the solution suggested there? Let me know how it goes, please? Best Regards, |

Hello, Thanks. I am sorry, but I missed that there seem to be two problems. The one I mentioned, the "flagged for later" issue. And also the problem of unregistered Elementor elements. Those are elements added by the theme (which is not compatible with WPML). So, they need to be registered as explained here: I tried the following:
<wpml-config>
<elementor-widgets>
<widget name="gva-simple-slider">
<fields>
<field>carousel_content</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="carousel_content">
<field>sub_title</field>
<field>title</field>
<field>desc</field>
<field>btn_title</field>
<field>btn_title_2</field>
<field>btn_link_2>url</field>
<field>btn_donate_title</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
<widget name="gva-image-content">
<fields>
<field>title_text</field>
<field>link_text</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="gva-heading-block">
<fields>
<field>sub_title</field>
<field>title_text</field>
<field>description_text</field>
<field>button_text</field>
<field>button_donate_label</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="gva_marquee">
<fields>
<field>content_items</field>
<field>title_typography_typography</field>
<field>title_typography_font_style</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="content_items">
<field>title</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
<widget name="gva-gallery">
<fields>
<field>images</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="images">
<field>title</field>
<field>sub_title</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
<widget name="gva_icon_box_group">
<fields>
<field>title</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="icon_boxs">
<field>title</field>
<field>desc</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
<widget name="gva-counter">
<fields>
<field>text_after</field>
<field>title_text</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="gva-team">
<fields>
<field>team_content</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="team_content">
<field>name</field>
<field>position</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
</elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>
Then I updated the original page, made a small change, and save. After this, If you edit the translation, you'll note that there is plenty of new content available for translation. Make sure that every segment is translated and that there are no segments flagged for later. In this screencast, I show you what I mean about the new content and the flagged for later issue. You should be able to translate everything automatically if you have credits. I took the screencast from my local copy of your site, that's why it shows no credits. hidden link There may be some other elements that need to be registered, so if there is still untranslated content, please let me know where it is so I can see if it can be registered.

Hello, I am sorry I wasn't clear enough. I'll expand on each step with video aid. There are two problems: We need to register the elements, update the original (so the translation needs update is triggered), edit the translation to translate the new content and remove the flagged for later segments. 1. Register the theme's Elementor elements: 2. Make an update on the original page, just add a dot or space anywhere and save. 3. There are a few ways to edit the translation. I'll show you the one that is closer to your flow: Here you can see how: 4. Translate and remove "flagged for later" segments Also check if there are segments flagged for later, remove those flags. Here you can see how to do it: I hope it's clearer now 🙂 Let me know how it goes, please. Best Regards, |
