Background of the issue:
I am using WPML with my WordPress site hidden link. I have encountered issues with translating category buttons in the sidebar using Kadence, as they do not appear in the Dashboard > Widget area. Additionally, I am using WPRM for recipes, and there is a problem with measurement units in the French version of my site.

Symptoms:
Category buttons in the sidebar do not translate. In the French version of recipes, measurements sometimes incorrectly display in US customary units and decimals instead of fractions and grams.

Questions:
How can I translate category buttons in the sidebar when using Kadence?
Why do measurements in the French version of recipes initially display incorrectly?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support!

Is the issue with these categories?
hidden link

catégories populaires?

Are these translated in the backend through the WPML -> Taxonomy Translation?

As for the WP Recipe Maker Premium, can you create a new ticket (for our support rules to handle one issue per time) so we could check it as well?

Regards,
Bruno Kos

Hi Bruno,

Yes the issue is the one you pointed out "catégories populaires". Yes all my categories are translated in the taxonomy translation section but that section in my sidebar are buttons, they don't pull the categories from the taxonomy. I found the string, but it just wouldn't translate for some reason.

Thanks in anticipation,

Emma

Would you be willing to provide me with WordPress credentials so I could investigate the issue directly?

And tell me where in the backend is this set so I could check:

that section in my sidebar are buttons, they don't pull the categories from the taxonomy.

I marked your next reply as private so that you can safely add credentials.

Can you tell me where is this set in the backend? Which widget/elements?

Because I see within hidden link that all are empty.

Hi Bruno,

Yes for some reason with Kadence, my widgets are locked in the dashboard so I can only customize them in the customizer. You need to go to appearance-customize, then you can click on the edit button of the categories in the sidebar and it will take you where they are.

In String Translation, if you look for [widget_block][164]content, you will find them there. But for some reason when I translate them, they don't translate.

If you hop on my blog, I'm currently also facing another issue. I have setup WPdiscuz which customizes the comment section. But for some reason, even when enabling " Track where strings appear on the site" absolutely nothing related to that plugin gets translated (title, placeholder, buttons, etc.)

I'm not sure whether I need to open a new ticket for this, I am mentioning it since you will login.

Many thanks,

Emma

Can you tell me where do I need to click to get there? I don't see it here.

As for the other issue can you open a new ticket?

Hi Bruno,

You need to be on a post page (not the homepage) then click on Widgets and you will see Sidebar 1. Or you can directly click on the widget in the sidebar, there is an edit icon for each widget when you are in "customize" mode, but you need to be on a post.

Many thanks,

Emma

I only found this in the String Translation

<!-- wp:kadence/advancedbtn {"btnCount":2,"uniqueID":"_8b42c8-0a","btns":[{"text":"< 30 minutes...

and translated it, but it doesn't seem to have effect. I am checking this with our 2nd tier and will keep you posted. Perhaps it is even a compatibility issue between Kadence customizer blocks and WPML.
