Would you be able to create a very simple function that uses a snippet of your code in a new sandbox site to see if the logic you are using is valid for retrieving a translated object information?
Hi,
yes we tried that during the chat. The $post is the English version of the post but when using $post_type = get_post_type($post) and then get_post_type_object($post_type), the response is an object with the post type information in Swedish. We tried it with the woocommerce product post type.
Btw, this is done outside of templates. It's in WP-CLI code that populates Algolia search indexes. We want the index to have a field with the post type name in the language of the index.
Here are all parts involved in trying to get the post type name in English. The reindex_posts is called with --lang=en so everything is in English except the name of the post type.
/**
* Reindex by post type and language in wp-cli
* Example use: wp algolia reindex_posts --type=post --lang=en
*/
public function reindex_posts($args, $assoc_args) {
$lang = isset($assoc_args['lang']) ? $assoc_args['lang'] : 'sv';
$algolia = 'algolia_' . $lang;
global $$algolia;
global $wpdb;
$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
do_action('wpml_switch_language', $lang);
$type = isset($assoc_args['type']) ? $assoc_args['type'] : 'post';
$indexName = $wpdb->prefix . $type;
$index = $$algolia->initIndex(
apply_filters('algolia_index_name', $indexName, $type)
);
$index->setSettings(['indexLanguages' => ["{$lang}"]]);
$index->clearObjects()->wait();
$paged = 1;
$count = 0;
do {
$posts = new WP_Query([
'posts_per_page' => 100,
'paged' => $paged,
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
]);
if (!$posts->have_posts()) {
break;
}
$records = [];
foreach ($posts->posts as $post) {
if (!empty($assoc_args['verbose'])) {
WP_CLI::line('Indexing [' . $post->post_title . ']');
}
$record = (array) apply_filters($type.'_to_record', $post);
if (! isset($record['objectID'])) {
$record['objectID'] = implode('#', [$post->post_type, $post->ID]);
}
$records[] = $record;
$count++;
}
$index->saveObjects($records);
$paged++;
} while (true);
do_action('wpml_switch_language', $current_lang);
WP_CLI::success("$count $type entries indexed in " . $algolia);
}
/**
* Get post type name
*/
function mk_algolia_get_post_type_name($post) {
$post_type = get_post_type( $post );
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $post_type );
return $post_type_object->label;
}
Please remember that our support for debugging custom code is extremely limited. Our support forum is provided to help clients use our plugins out-of-the-box with standard commercial plugins and themes that have been tested compatible with WPML.
In other cases, we can advise and guide but not troubleshoot. For this, at some point, we will have to direct you to a WPML contractor who can take your particular case on.
The 2nd tier team will be using this cloned site to debug your code.
