Problem: The client reported that taxonomy types and sort functions on the Inventory page were not translating. Solution: We resolved the issue with the sort functions by: 1. Navigating to WPML >> String Translation page. 2. Searching for the specific strings such as "Jaar". 3. Assigning the correct source language using the 'change the language of selected strings' dropdown. 4. Adding the correct translation in English.
For the taxonomy labels on the inventory page, we: 1. Added the following XML in WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:
2. Returned to the WPML >> String Translation page. 3. Searched for the required strings one by one and assigned the correct source language following this documentation: how to change the source language of strings 4. Added the translations.

Problem: The client reported an issue where taxonomy terms such as 'Year' were not translating correctly on their vehicle listing page, despite having translations available. The default site language had been switched from English to Dutch, which seemed to affect the translation functionality. Solution: We identified that the issue was related to how the theme handled translations within specific PHP templates. To resolve this, we provided a code snippet to modify the theme's PHP file to ensure proper translation registration and application using WPML's hooks:
<?php<br />// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7432<br />if (class_exists('Sitepress')) {<br /> $textdomain = 'motors';<br /> $string_name = 'Motors - WPML String: '.substr($single_name, 0, 20);<br /><br /> if (apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL) == apply_filters('wpml_current_language', NULL)) {<br /> do_action('wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $single_name);<br /> }<br /> // Apply the translation to the string<br /> $single_name = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $single_name, $textdomain, $string_name);<br />}<br /></code><br /><td class="t-label"> <?php echo esc_html($single_name); ?></td><br />After applying this change, the client was instructed to visit the page in the original language to register the string and then translate it via WPML > String Translator under the 'motors' textdomain.<br /><br />If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket.
