Header menu for language translation on Gtranslate.io plugin

    Hello,

    Some plugins such as Gtranslate require a shortcode to be inserted in the link description within the menu item.

    The shortcode is used to switch the page from one language to another while retaining the url that was displayed at the time.
    Thus, instead of switching from the home of one subdomain to another, the page can be translated directly within the navigation tree.
    In other words, the page en.mysite.com/mycategory can be linked directly to es.mysite.com/mycategory without having to be redirected to the home.
    In many themes, this function works without any problems, but it does not seem to work in Neve FSE.
    If the description is deactivated it does not work, if the description is activated the code is displayed, without being interpreted.

    It seems that the problem is only in Neve FSE, other themes work without problems.

  • Hi @gsmao,

    Thank you for using Neve FSE and for reaching out to us!

    Neve FSE, like other Full Site Editing themes, handles content differently, using a block-based approach for building headers, footers, and other template parts.

    To use the GTranslate shortcode in Neve FSE, I recommend using a Shortcode Block directly, since it is designed for handling shortcodes versus the description of the custom link.

    Click Edit Site, click on the Header area where you want your translation options to appear, click the ‘+’ to add a new block, and search for Shortcode. There you can paste the shortcode that GTranslate offers and after saving the changes you are all set.

    Please let us know if this information helped you and if we can assist you with something else.

    Best regards,

    Mara
