Wordpress version: v. 4.9.6
Newsmag version: v 4.4
WPML version: v 4.0.3
My site: http://astro.najar.ca
I’m having a hard time working with translations. I bought WPML by recommendation of yours. It is a great pluging thou.
But I’m having trouble with some parts of newsmag.
1) First of all, the default widgets in the sidebar. I wanted to translate the default widgets per language. Down below in each widget I see a combo that let me to select the language I want the widget appear in. I click “save” and the value always return and stays in “All languages”.
The problem is in deed the widgets ( [tagdiv block 9] & [tagdiv] popular category ). For example, the RSS Widget works just fine.
2) I got the idea of making one sidebar per language and assign it to each translation of the main page (SiderBar English, SidebarFrancais, SidebarEspanol) . So I did that and that worked *** only for the main page***. I realized that I had to assign a sidebar to the blog and post template and for other sections too in the “theme panel” config section.
But the problem is that the settings in Newsmag Theme Panel aren’t localized per language, so, if I select the “SideBarEnglish”, it will appear for the other languages too.
Thank you for your help
Hello najarfermin,
1)Unfortunately, it seems that the Widgets are not working to be translated with WPML. This thing has been added to our list of improvements for fixing but we cannot say for sure if this will be or not solved.
2)If you want to have more sidebars to your pages you should make some pages with TD Composer and add with this page builder the sidebars and from there you can choose more than options that Theme Panel.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin,
Honestly when you say “thank you for your understanding” I dont quite understand given that I payed for the product and you recommended me WPML ( which I payed for it too ).
So when you tell me that “we cannot say for sure if this will be or not solved” I’m not so happy to hear that. Widgets are base components and should work as well as the base widgets included in WordPress.Given that I paid for a product I dont want to spend my own time fixing it.
Look, News mag is good and love it, only I want to know how make it work with different translations. I almost have it all done, only the parts that involve the theme panel settings I don’t know how to make it work (If I had found a way to share the full media library between wordpress sites without too much tweaking I would not bothered using the WPML plugin. )
I didn’t understand the TD composer part you said ( point 2). I already created a SideBar for every main page for every language. That worked because there is a page for every language.
** But for example, for the general post settings or the general category, those that are in the theme panel, I only can assign one sidebar for all, and it didn’t take in consideration the language. That means that there isn’t one config per language
( theme panel > template settings > blog and posts templates > custom sidebar + position )
Also, there are another settings I can’t find how to translate, those are the same no matter which language is selected: (footer > footer info content > )
– Footer text
– Footer copyright text
Thanks for your help and understanding
Hello najarfermin,
1)Sorry for this inconvenience but please notice that we know about this problem and we hope to solve it.
2)Please keep in mind that if you want to translate your description from About US section from Footer, notice that you can do it from WPML Plugin, but it’s needed to make some adjustments through it in order to achieve as you wish.
First of all, you should install the WMPL and then go to it in String Translation section and then, press the Translate texts in admin screens, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/DvZ8tStcO7A Please notice that all of the theme’s setting is loaded in the td_011 field and the footer text which you want to translate it is saved in the tds_footer_text meta key, which should have to be checked from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YXh36jIo. So, after this, if you will select this field, where you can create your translations and what exactly you want to bring when a language is active, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/eUCPJpvuyE
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hello, thank you very much for your help.
I did exactly what you said: I went to “string translations”, I found the strings but there were under td_010 field instead of td_011 ( I don’t if this is a problem ).
I checked them and then I pressed the “apply” button at the bottom of the page.
I did a research on the list of string but there weren’t there.
Do I have to activate any other option before ?
Regards and thank you
