The Events Calendar PRO – Additional Fields Labels Not Translated

Overview of the issue

When using The Events Calendar PRO with WPML, and configuring Additional Fields (via Events → Settings → Additional Fields), the field values are translatable. However, the field labels do not display translated on the front end.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

Register labels for translation

• Add the following XML configuration, in “WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration”:

  <wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
      <key name="tribe_events_calendar_options">
        <key name="custom-fields">
          <key name="*">
            <key name="label" />
          </key>
        </key>
      </key>
    </admin-texts>
  </wpml-config>
          

Modify the PHP template to display the translated label

• Open the …/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php file.
• Look for line 22.
• Replace:

  <dt> <?php echo esc_html( $name );  ?> </dt>
          

• With:

  <dt> <?php esc_html_e( $name , 'admin_texts_tribe_events_calendar_options' );  ?> </dt>
          

Translate labels in String Translation

After completing the above steps, go to “WPML > String Translation”. Locate the additional field labels under the admin_texts_tribe_events_calendar_options domain and provide the necessary translations for each label.
