Estatik and WPML

Hi Michael,

Estatik supports WPML as well and it can be translated as any other plugin via WPML. Please make sure that you enabled post type ‘property’ in WPML – Settings – Post Type Translation.
If you did and it doesn’t work, contact us and we will look into it.
Thanks.

well, it doesn’t work flawlessly. Fort instance, it takes some effort to get custom field labels translated, they do not automatically appear in string translation, as the field values do.

More importantly, the labels (featured, new, sold etc) can be translated through the taxonomy translation, but the values are NOT translated. I’ve tried translate and copy, and they simply dom’t work. WMP itself is looking into it now, and so far they can’t get it to work either.

Maybe estatik support has a solution?

Update, both WPML and Estatik have declared that the label translation does not work with the WPML trandlation editor, which makes Estatik NOT compatible with WPML.

@mwestrik Many thanks for your information. Yes, I went through the whole process, and also learned, that there’s no 100% compatibility. I am not interested in paying more money for polylang as long as I have licenses for WPML, so I will find a solution for the issue with the Labels. You wrote, that it makes some effort to translate the custom fields. So you found a workaround?

Hi Michael,

yes, you have to let wpml search for strings.then, eventually, they will show up in the string translation.

For the label values (which is nothing more then on/off) Estatik told me that it only works with Loco translation. But it would be weird to have to install another translation plugin just for those labels. they already can be translated with wpml though, but in a very unconventional way: add them in one language, save, and then change the language, add them there too, and do that for all languages. They will NOT show up in the translation editors.

I have already asked both wpml and estatik for a solution, if you find one, i’d be happy to hear it!
