Is there a way to translate Custom Post Type label with Polylang?

    I have a CPT UI installed and Polylang. I have translated the items inside the custom post type with no problem, but how can I translate the labels?

    For Example EN -> FR:
    Updates -> mises à jour
    Events -> événements
    Articles – Des articles

    So that I can show on my site the proper label when showing for example:
    mises à jour:
    1. List of Updates in French 1
    2. List of Updates in French 2

    événements:
    1. List of Events in French 1
    1. List of Events in French 2

    Right now, the CPT Dashboard admin doesn’t let met translate the labels even if I change the language (Filter the contents by) in the menu.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Hello,

    The integration with CPTUI is available only in Polylang Pro.

    Otherwise if you register your post types in PHP, you can translate the labels using the usual __() function, as shown in the examples here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Example

    Thanks for the reply. I had a solution somehow. I have to get the post type name of the current post and then use an IF statement.

    <?php 
	$post_type = get_post_type_object($post->post_type);
	$sname = $post_type->labels->singular_name; 
?>

<?php if ( $sname == "Event" ) :
		$pID = get_page_by_title( 'The Events' ); 
		$slink = get_permalink( pll_get_post($pID->ID) ); ?>
		<a id="ID-<?=$pID->ID;?>" title="Click to see more" href="<?=$slink;?>"><?=get_the_title(pll_get_post($pID->ID));?></a>

<?php endif; ?>
