Hi

Although I've registered a module attribute in WPML XML Configuration, it does not show.

Here is the shortcode of the module / attribute:

hidden link

and here is how I registered it:

hidden link

all other atttributes show in the translation page.

Thank you for checking it.

Hello Jan,

Thank you for contacting the support.

I see that the attribute contains numeric and these usually are not considered translatable. Thus do not appear in ATE by default.

However, you can search for these numbers when translating, please see https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ for an understanding about searching the hidden content (by default) in Advanced Translation Editor.

I hope this 'll help resolve the issue or let me know.

Regards.

Hi Waqas

Thank you for your reply. I tried that before and tried again now, but the search does not bring up the missing attribute.

Regards,
