I am trying to:
We have a custom post type of "Events" created with cmb2, when a post is created it copies fine into german, chinese and japanese. I can see all the information fine on the front end (obviously all in english as not yet translated)
When we use ate to add translation (the cmb2 custom fields are not shown, but this does not matter as they are always in original language) we lose data from the custom fields - particularly "POV Days" which appears at the bottom of the right column.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see:
"POV Days - 0"
Instead, I got:
(All languages are fine before ate translation) the german translation shows - "POV Days - (Blank)" - hidden link
It does not matter what the value of pov days is either as this happens when the value is 1 or 2 or 4 also
As you will see, the chinese and japanese versions have all this information from the english originally created post - if we translate them, the POV Days field loses its data.
The client currently is editing the post whilst in the translated language to re add the POV Days field data, i have asked them to leave this post so we can give you an example.
- You use "copy" when you want to leave the same values among the languages. they will be excluded from the translation editor. good examples are structure fields like radio buttons or images.
- You use "copy once" when you want the language to start with an initial value but then you want to change it manually on the translations. they won't appear in the translation editor.
- You use "translation" when you have text that you want to have translated. text areas, textfields, etc. they do appear in the translation editor.
Thats great thanks, I found the issue, All of those custom fields except the one i was having issues with were set to copy (which is correct) the issue field was set to Don't translate.
