Archives and Widgets showing all languages

  • Resolved Timbre Design

    When a post’s language is selected (the language being set in the edit page with the language dropdown provided, not translated), only the posts that are in that language *should* show on the frontend when a user is in that language, respectively. However that is not the case.

    For instance, on the blog archive page, when the user language on the site is set to Slovenian, posts in English also show up. This is also true for other post types, such as WooCommerce products shown in the shop. And, it is also true for widgets such as recent posts etc.. They all show posts from all languages, not just the language the user is respectively in.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello Timbre,

    > the language being set in the edit page with the language dropdown provided, not translated
    We dont’ have this feature. That’s probably from another plugin. Polilang and WPML have this feature.

    With us, all the content is expected to be written in the original language, othwerwise we can’t properly translate it and you’ll end up with Spanish content in the English database tables for example.

    Best Regards!

    Hey thank you for responding! It looks like the previous developer of the site created a custom language dropdown field because of this limitation, though the implementation wasn’t very well done, and thus my confusion :-).

    It does seem very limiting that there is not an option to create singular language posts. There are many use cases where a post (product etc..) may be intended to only address a certain language group. As a recommendation you might consider adding this functionality to your plugin. Though I do recognize the implied database conflicts with implementing this with the way your plugin is structured, I could also see a relatively simple way to work around this without major restructuring as well.

    Cheers!
