translating the website with wpml plugin

Hi Vlad,

We are almost finishing the building of this website. The last part is translating! I have trouble understanding how this works. I tried to translate the contactpage and after pressing the button + for translating this page I get some shortcodes which are not translatable! The text on this page is not showing in translatable fields as in all the tutorials. Also no front-end look. Besides this; When I safe this page it doubles in my pages overview all languages. This is also different as in the tutorials. Is this OK?
I tried the option WPML advanced translation editor but does not function…

I also used some plugins like WPForms and Responsive tabs. Before I continue, how do I proceed and can I translate them? Could you please look into this?

Read some documentation on the WPML support page… this looks like a common problem and I hope you can help me solve this because we choose this template because it is fully compatible with this plugin… BUT HOW?

Kind regards,
Anne

Hi,

From Newspaper v10.3.3 was add a better support for WPML plugin -> https://i.imgur.com/vAjt3aG.png now you can set the header, footer, category and single template on each language in them panel, for this you need to use the translate for cloud templates -> https://i.imgur.com/Y99kgbB.png in this way on each language you’ll have only the templates made for that language, for example https://i.imgur.com/UJbzFFp.png -> https://i.imgur.com/TWZLxQZ.png -> https://i.imgur.com/CjsSkAC.png
You can duplicate a cloud template like this -> https://i.imgur.com/BLYyLc4.png after that you can edit it with tagDiv Composer.
In your case you need to do the same for 404 cloud template.

The second method is the classic one using the strings translate, this is more harder -> you need to use the this option -> https://i.imgur.com/59kl17v.png in order to use the string translate, for example for the header -> https://prnt.sc/rumozl and in WPML String -> https://prnt.sc/rumqn5 then you need to set the id of the header you want to be set for that language -> https://i.imgur.com/ghCu54I.png -> https://i.imgur.com/UAgVTC6.png -> https://prnt.sc/rumrbd

Now in order to translate a page in a language, you need to create that page in tagdiv Composer, using the content for that language.

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Thanks for your help Calin,
This was exactly the solution!! I’m so glad…

The only 2 things that needs to be done is:
-the menu. In your message I understand I have to create two new headers with cloud templates. Which header template is the one in the demo version of Art Creek? And what are the settings? Because now a little screen pops up when you hoover over and we particularly like this! And I cannot find the settings of the original header; Menu is empty under Appearance.
– Widgets Newspaper Default on the homepage. Are the words ‘about us’ and ‘most popular’ also translatable?

Almost done. Hope you can help me with the last topics!

Thanks in advance
Anne

Hi,
The problem is that the art creek demo is not a pro demo, therefore there is no cloud header in tagDiv Cloud Library to can be imported and you’ll need to create it using tagdiv Composer.
Normal the standard templates and widgets can be translated using the classic method from WPML, the one with strings translate, unfortunately you can use only one of them, for pro demos you can sue both options.
Thank you for your understanding!
