This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is unable to find specific templates in the WPML String Translation or Admin Texts Translation areas. These templates are created using a custom shortcode, [Ruby_E_Template id="3476"], and are not appearing due to their unique IDs which differ per language.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, we recommend the following steps:
1. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'wpml_tm_job_field_is_translatable', '__return_true' );
2. Insert the below XML in WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:
<wpml-config><shortcodes><shortcode><tag>Ruby_E_Template</tag><attributes><attribute>id</attribute></attributes></shortcode></shortcodes></wpml-config>
3. Edit the default language page where the shortcode is used. Make a small change (like updating the title), then save.
4. Open the translation in WPML’s Translation Editor. You should now see the template ID string (e.g., 3476). Replace it with the translated template ID.
5. Complete the translation and check if it shows correctly on the front end.

Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. The string translation is used to translate the strings which are coming from theme/plugins files or theme/plugins options pages. In your case, it looks like you're using a custom shortcode like this: [Ruby_E_Template id="3476"] This shortcode is likely created by a custom post type, and each language may use a different ID. To translate this properly, please follow these steps: 1. Add this code to your theme’s functions.php file: add_filter( 'wpml_tm_job_field_is_translatable', '__return_true' ); 2. Add the below XML in WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:
<wpml-config>
<shortcodes>
<shortcode>
<tag>Ruby_E_Template</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute>id</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>
</shortcodes>
</wpml-config>
3. Edit the default language page where the shortcode is used. Make a small change (like updating the title), then save. 4. Open the translation in WPML’s Translation Editor. You should now see the template ID string (e.g., 3476). Replace it with the translated template ID. 5. Complete the translation and check if it shows correctly on the front end. Here is a doc for more details: If you still have issue, please send me a screenshot of where exactly the shortcode is used in Elementor. Let me know how it goes!  |
