Elementor Custom Widgets

Problem:
The client was unable to find and translate a specific string in the header of their website using WPML.
Solution:
1. To make the custom Marquee Elementor element compatible with the WPML Translation Editor, we added the following XML configuration in WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="marquee">
      <fields>
        <field>marquee_label</field>
        <field>marquee_content</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

After this, we made a small change in the default language header template and translated the header in the secondary language. This made the marquee element content available for translation.
2. For translating the 'Donation' text, we followed these steps:
- Navigated to WPML >> String Translation page.
- Clicked on the 'Translate texts in the admin screen' link at the bottom of the page.
- Searched for the string and enabled its translation.
- Assigned the correct source language and added the translation of that string.
- Cleared the cache to reflect the updated translation.
For further details, you can refer to the following documentation links:

Problem:
You are trying to translate the field link for each item on the Filterable Gallery addon from Essential Addons but the XML code you used did not work.
Solution:
We recommend using the following XML code to make the link available for translations:

<widget name="eael-filterable-gallery">
  <fields-in-item items_of="eael_fg_gallery_items">
    <field type="Filterable Gallery: eael_fg_gallery_item_name" editor_type="LINE">eael_fg_gallery_item_name</field>
    <field type="Filterable Gallery: Item Link" editor_type="LINK">eael_fg_gallery_item_video_link</field>
  </fields-in-item>
</widget>

If you are using the Advanced Translation Editor, you will need to search for the URLs in the editor.

Problem:
Der Kunde kann Widgets von Elementor und dem Theme nicht für die Übersetzung hinzufügen.
Solution:
1. WPML unterstützt standardmäßig alle Widgets von Elementor und Elementor Pro. Für benutzerdefinierte Elementor-Widgets, wie die vom Plugin Bdevs Element, ist eine XML-Konfiguration erforderlich. Diese sollte idealerweise vom Theme-Autor in einer

wpml-config.xml

Datei bereitgestellt werden. Anleitung dazu finden Sie hier: Wie man Page Builder Widgets für die Übersetzung registriert.

2. Falls der Autor keine Konfiguration bereitstellt, können Sie selbst eine benutzerdefinierte XML-Konfiguration unter WPML > Einstellungen > Benutzerdefinierte XML-Konfiguration hinzufügen.

3. Alternativ können Sie den WordPress-Editor als Übersetzungsmethode verwenden. Anleitung dazu finden Sie hier: Anleitung zum Übersetzen mit dem WordPress-Editor.

4. Sollten weiterhin Probleme auftreten, empfehlen wir, den Theme-Hersteller zu kontaktieren oder eine WPML-Testsite zu verwenden, um das Problem zu replizieren.

Wenn diese Lösung veraltet erscheint oder nicht auf Ihr Problem zutrifft, empfehlen wir, die bekannten Probleme zu überprüfen, die Version der dauerhaften Lösung zu verifizieren und sicherzustellen, dass Sie die neuesten Versionen von Themes und Plugins installiert haben. Zögern Sie nicht, ein neues Support-Ticket zu öffnen, wenn Sie weitere Unterstützung benötigen: WPML Support Forum.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with translating individual words in the Animated Headline Widget from Elementor using WPML, where the plugin treats all the words as one long sentence instead of recognizing them as individual strings, resulting in the translated version displaying all the words together rather than rotating them.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps:
1. View the translated version of your page.
2. Click on "edit with Elementor" from the WordPress topbar to open the translation in the Elementor editor.
3. Manually edit the widget to add the translations for each word and then update.
