Problem:
The client is developing a bilingual site (EN + FR) using WordPress and WPML plugins and is trying to fetch data for a custom post type called 'news-post' using the REST API. However, they are unable to retrieve both English and French data for the 'news-post' custom post type.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend trying the following steps:
1. To access the French data for your custom post type, append '/fr' to your REST API URL like this:

.
2. If you need to retrieve the translated ID in the REST API response, you can use the wpml_object_id hook. This hook allows you to retrieve the corresponding translation of a post, page, or custom post type in the desired language. You can then modify the API output using a filter like rest_prepare_post to include the translated version’s ID based on the specified language.

Problem:
You are using Elementor Pro and WPML to create a bilingual site and need to translate the site footer into French. The English footer has four logos linking to external websites, and you want to modify the number of logos in the French footer.
Solution:
If the layout of the footer differs significantly between languages, we recommend creating separate footer templates for each language. You can learn how to do this by following our guide on Creating Different Elementor Templates per Language with WPML.
If the changes are limited to different icons and external URLs, you can use the following methods:
- For icons, utilize the Media Translation module. More details can be found here: Media Translation.
- For external URLs, use the Advanced Translation Editor to locate and translate the URLs. More information is available here: Translate URLs using the Advanced Translation Editor.
