doesn’t work with WPML

Well it still doesn’t work though, I mean post_content column of wp_posts is translated successfully but it still showed the original language email.

Then I traced your code and you use _elementor_data meta key to save your stuff and you don’t even use post_content.

Here’s the meta value example:

[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;9bh3mgi&quot;,&quot;elType&quot;:&quot;section&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;structure&quot;:&quot;30&quot;,&quot;section_background_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;}},&quot;elements&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63c00d0&quot;,&quot;elType&quot;:&quot;column&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;_column_size&quot;:33,&quot;_inline_size&quot;:31.161},&quot;elements&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;c3fd4c3&quot;,&quot;elType&quot;:&quot;widget&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;void_email_image&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:422,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/oscarexchange-local.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Group-755.png&quot;},&quot;width&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;advance_margin&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;top&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;right&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;bottom&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;left&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;isLinked&quot;:false},&quot;advance_padding&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;top&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;right&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;bottom&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;left&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;isLinked&quot;:false},&quot;advance_background_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;}},&quot;elements&quot;:[],&quot;widgetType&quot;:&quot;elemailer-image&quot;}],&quot;isInner&quot;:false},{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;a74778b&quot;,&quot;elType&quot;:&quot;column&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;_column_size&quot;:33,&quot;_inline_size&quot;:32.67},&quot;elements&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;c1cfbcb&quot;,&quot;elType&quot;:&quot;widget&quot;,&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;01

You probably need to support it this way:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/#2-1-translating-sub-keys-in-custom-fields

acf repeater example:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/xml-config-option-to-translate-repeater-custom-fields/

depending on your implementation you’d need something like that, you just need to know under which json keys you put the text parts?

I tried with:

`<wpml-config>
<custom-fields>
<custom-field action=”translate”>_elementor_data</custom-field>
</custom-fields>

<custom-fields-texts>
<key name=”_elementor_data”>
<key name=”*”>
<key name=”elements”>
<key name=”*”>
<key name=”elements”>
<key name=”*”>
<key name=”settings”>
<key name=”title”/>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</key>
</custom-fields-texts>
</wpml-config>

But couldn’t get it working, you need to investigate this with wpml support.

Remember all the huge websites are multilingual, so you wanna become huge too, don’t miss this important feature.

For now I can make different emails templates for different languages it sucks but it’s a workaround.

I can suggest you another way of doing this as well, just get everything translatable (texts) and put them in post_content and put some space between those lines, also you can put {{whatever}} in there and the translation will ignore that, there you can put your id or a delimiter or whatever you need, and upon grabbing the meta value just grab these text parts from post_content and combine it.

Probably this is the best and easiest way.

But still I don’t know how you have implemented this, why post_content is even full do you even use that? do you save the values from there once? if you do you can do the same for all the languages.

Let me know if you need help, I don’t have a lot of time to go through your code though.

Thanks for your detailed comment. We will look into this and see what can be done.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the details. We will look into this for future improvement. For now, it’s easy enough just to create templates for different languages for use cases.

As for your query regarding post content- we don’t change anything from how Elementor works here actually. Elementor doesn’t use the post content table rather uses the meta field as you have mentioned. But Can you also provide an example why translation would be needed for email and how it would be used in general? ( Workflow )?
