Theme's homepage strings translation

First update to the current development version (1.0.3.1) as I found a bug in 1.0.3 which will prevent the solution below to work.
https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/polylang.zip

Then create a file called wpml-config.xml with the following content:

<wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
        <key name='options_wpex_themes'>
            <key name='home_tagline' />
            <key name='home_highlights_title' />
            <key name='home_portfolio_title' />
            <key name='home_blog_title' />
        </key>
    </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Then upload the file in the /wp-content/polylang/ directory (you must create it).

It works! ??
You are a hell of developer, thanks, thanks, thanks a lot!

P.S. out of curiosity, which is the best/safest way to manually update Polylang?

The way I use: create a ‘temporary’ directory in plugins directory, upload Polylang files in it, delete the old ‘polylang’ directory, rename the ‘temporary’ directory to ‘polylang’.

Thus, the plugin is always available except between the ‘delete’ and ‘rename’ operations, which should be very short.

Ok, it sounds good, next time I’ll try that.
I asked because last night I did it the classic way, that is: deactivate, delete, add-new and activate, but I had to reassign the language to all the posts/pages/custom-posts and in some cases to manually pair them again.
Thanks a lot, have a great weekend!

If you click on the “red” delete link, Polylang will intentionally remove all its data from the database. Otherwise, if you only de-activate and re-activate, all data should be kept.

Got it… just tried it and all data is kept indeed.

This is GREAT! thanks!

In my case it works perfectly for one of the plugins that need to be translated which fields show as single records at wp_options, but not for my theme settings fields which is an array within a record from wp_options as well.

I put the wpml-config.xml file below at my child theme root folder and the result is:

The first section works fine.
The sub-section from “pitch_theme_settings” doesn’t even show.

<wpml-config>
	<admin-texts>
		<key name="wp_cart_title" />
		<key name="wp_cart_empty_text" />
		<key name="wp_cart_visit_shop_text" />
		<key name="plural_items_text" />
		<key name="singular_items_text" />
		<key name="shipping_text" />
		<key name="item_name_text" />
		<key name="price_text" />
		<key name="remove_text" />
		<key name="item_qty_string" />
		<key name="no_item_in_cart_string" />
		<key name="pitch_theme_settings">
			<key name="front_page_cta_text" />
			<key name="front_page_cta_button_text" />
			<key name="front_page_home_title_latest_projects" />
			<key name="front_page_home_title_blog" />
			<key name="front_page_home_title_clients" />
			<key name="project_archive_title" />
			<key name="project_view_text" />
			<key name="text_footer_text" />
			<key name="text_search_placeholder" />
			<key name="text_comments_closed" />
			<key name="text_not_found" />
		</key>
	</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Is there any requirement to handle these arrays or is just not previewed.

If it doesn’t handle any turn around? This section is what is left to have the site 100% translated.

Looking to hear from Chouby

Didn’t notice this topic was resolved and I guess my problem isn’t with wpml-config.xml file but with the theme.
