Hello,
I am continuousely struggling with translation of headers at my site.
My development site is https://finpro.international
I cannot translate the header by sending it to translation queue because the header is base64 encoded https://prnt.sc/ItxR3ZDFz6up. While I was able to solve this for particular fields in other documents by adding them to XML configuration, with header this solution does not work. Because it does not indicate any specific attribute that is encoded. I tried to add manually base64 encoded attributes, but I failed because it started to throw other critical errors.
WPML support proposed to create a translation using WP editor. I could successfully create the translation document by this method. But when I switch the language to English in Cloud Templates section, the header template does not appear.

When I go back to WP Editor I see it as English Translation of Russian.

But from WP Editor I cannot edit it using TagDiv composer, because it is missing!
The supporter of WPML is trying to reproduce the issue with compatibility of WPML and Newspaper theme. And she is asking for your involvement, whether you can assist her to install and reproduce the issue in their sandbox. She asked me to recreate the issue, but I have no free license to be used in their sandbox. So she asked for your involvement. You can see the thread here:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-header-and-footer-template/page/2/
Can you advice:
1) How to resolve the header translation issue with base64?
2) Can you provide them with development license for their sandbox: mellow-maraca.sandbox.otgs.work?
Thanks.
Hi,
You need to translate the English (original language) header for each language in part – https://i.imgur.com/CDmeHCf.png you should have them imported for each language the cloud template – https://i.imgur.com/4agmUtg.png
A much simpler and faster alternative is to duplicate the cloud template you want to use in another language, edit it and select the desired language – https://i.imgur.com/z1CqgBo.png (edit the name) – https://i.imgur.com/dPX8ROs.png – https://i.imgur.com/Lc81IgP.png This method needs to be used to translate all cloud templates.
The pages are created with tagDiv Composer which is a page builder, when WPML is used it cannot translate everything that was built with the page builder and must be edited for each language separately. Please open the page in the editor and click on translate – https://i.imgur.com/TXH6y1c.png
When you make the corrections, make sure you are on the page with the language you are editing, and if you use the cache, or object cache, please clear it.
Thank you!
As I explained in my original message, I cannot translate it using WPML editor. If I follow your method I get this endless page: https://prnt.sc/7Rp-RN2ai6Y2. So this part of your recommendation did not work.
But I appreciate your support because your trick with duplication and the following change of the language worked! Now I finally have two working templates in both languages.
Thank you.
