You can get other languages for a current post using several of WPML\u2019s hooks. These hooks can help you get all other languages, a specific language, and current language of a post.<\/p>\n
Getting other languages of a current post is a common way to build useful features for your site. For instance, you can build a custom language switcher with links to all the translations of the current post.<\/p>\n
You can get other languages of a post using three main hooks:<\/p>\n
In this example, we will get the other languages of a product, however this method works for any post type.<\/p>\n
\r\n$post_id = 47;\r\n \r\n$type = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_type', get_post_type( $post_id ) );\r\n$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', false, $post_id, $type );\r\n \r\n$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', array(), $trid, $type );\r\nforeach ( $translations as $lang => $translation ) {\r\n\tvar_dump( $translation );\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nThis will output something like:<\/p>\n
\r\nclass stdClass#4886 (8) {\r\n public $translation_id => string(2) "60"\r\n public $language_code => string(2) "en"\r\n public $element_id => string(2) "47"\r\n public $source_language_code => NULL\r\n public $element_type => string(12) "post_product"\r\n public $original => string(1) "1"\r\n public $post_title => string(13) "Example Product"\r\n public $post_status => string(7) "publish"\r\n}\r\n \r\nclass stdClass#4877 (8) {\r\n public $translation_id => string(2) "61"\r\n public $language_code => string(2) "fr"\r\n public $element_id => string(2) "48"\r\n public $source_language_code => string(2) "en"\r\n public $element_type => string(12) "post_product"\r\n public $original => string(1) "0"\r\n public $post_title => string(15) "Exemple de produit"\r\n public $post_status => string(7) "publish"\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nYou can see more information about the meaning of each field in our documentation about WPML\u2019s tables<\/a>.<\/p>\nHow can I get a specific language for a post?<\/h2>\n
If you know the target language you want to get information for, you can convert the ID using the wpml_object_id<\/a> hook. For example:<\/p>\n\r\n\/\/ will return the post ID in the current language for post ID 1\r\necho apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 1, 'post' );\r\n \r\n\/\/ will return the category ID in the current language for category ID 4. If the translation is missing it will return the original (here: category ID 4)\r\necho apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 4, 'category', TRUE );\r\n \r\n\/\/ will return the German attachment ID for attachment ID 25. If the translation is missing it will return NULL\r\necho apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 25, 'attachment', FALSE, 'de' );\r\n<\/pre>\nOnce you have the post ID for the specific target language, you can use it to get any information about that post.<\/p>\n
