Elementor Custom Widgets

Problem:
The client was having difficulty writing the correct XML code to register an Elementor widget ('be-timeline') for translation using WPML, despite following the documentation.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Insert the following XML in the WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="be-timeline">
      <fields-in-item items_of="list">
        <field>list_title</field>
        <field>list_content</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

2. To allow the translation of numbers in the timeline title field using WPML Translation Editor, add the following code to the functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wpml_tm_job_field_is_translatable', '__return_true' );

For more details, refer to the documentation on translating custom shortcodes with WPML.
3. Make a small change in the default language page to reload the translation and attempt translating it again.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with untranslated button texts on your webpages, and these buttons are from the 'Charity Addon for Elementor', it's likely because the widget lacks a necessary XML configuration for WPML to recognize and translate the texts.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following XML configuration to enable translation for the button texts:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="nacharity_basic_button">
      <fields>
        <field>btn_text</field>
        <field>btn_link>url</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

Add this configuration in WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. Then, edit the widget on the original content, save it, and open the translation in the WPML Translation Editor. The button text should now be visible for translation. For translating the link, search for "http" in the text field on the top left of the WPML Translation Editor.
It is the responsibility of the theme author to include such configurations in a wpml-config.xml file in the root directory of the Elementor addon plugin. You can refer them to our Go Global Program for assistance.

Alternatively, you can use the WordPress Editor for translation. Instructions can be found here: Using different translation editors for different pages.
