Hello,

I have a bilingual site and I am using WPML to translate. I have translated all the values I need except one.

I was able to translate the title of a “tagDIV block 1” a couple months ago and then recently tried to translate the “td_filter_default_txt” but was unable to. I can see the in the “WPML translate text in the admin screens” the field with the value I want to translate and when I check it and hit the Apply button it doesn’t show up in the String translations.

I did some testing and found that when I add a standard WordPress widget I can still translate using this method. I created new “tagDIV block 1” and “tagDIV block 7” widget then go to “WPML translate text in the admin screens” area and check off the custom title and/or the filter default text, hit apply, and they never show up as option in the String translation area.

I have not updated WPML or the Newspaper theme since I had first translated the title of a “tagDIV block 1”. Can you please help me figure out what might be the problem?

Thanks.

Hi,

Is the success message displayed when you clock apply after you select the strings?
– http://prntscr.com/mc0i4j
They should appear if there is no error, as in my test – http://prntscr.com/mc0jl9

If there is an error such as this one – http://prntscr.com/mc0g3b then the strings will not be added. This is caused in most cases by a low value for the max_input_vars parameter
– http://prntscr.com/mc0kl5
A value of 10000 should fix it, it did for me – https://wpml.org/forums/topic/cant-add-string-for-translation-from-admin-strings/

Thanks

Hi Simion,

I am getting the success message when I click apply. I haven’t reached my max input as I have been able to add other standard WordPress widget strings when I was trying to test what the problem could be.

Thanks

Hi,

If it applies successfully then the selected strings should appear on top of the list, or in the drop-down as in my case – http://prntscr.com/md4sba
You could make a quick test to see if the same happens while having only theme plugins and WPML active.
If it does, I could take a look. Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login. Include a link to this topic in the email.

Thanks
