WPML issue with loading Cloudtemplates and category post templates in theme pane

Hi there,
we came across this issue:
Installing wpml:
– in the template overview as written in your tutorial it works fine BUT
– the cloud template overview does not load correctly with the languages
– the cloud templates wont load correctly in theme panel when you try to give the translated categories the correct translated cloud template.

We made a fix and now it works.
If you guys are interested write an e-mail and I’ll share the code (not sure if you want code in the forum).
Maybe you can then look for a lasting solution.

Here a summary what it does:

Summary: What the Plugin Does
Problem it solves:
When you switch languages in WPML, tagDiv’s Cloud Templates Library and Theme Panel don’t update – they keep showing templates from the wrong language because they use their own cached language setting.
How it fixes it:
1. Client-Side (JavaScript):

Intercepts all HTTP requests (AJAX, Fetch API, XMLHttpRequest) made by tagDiv
Automatically adds the current WPML language parameter (lang=en or lang=de) to every request
Sets language cookies that tagDiv reads (wpml_lang, _icl_current_language)
This ensures tagDiv’s JavaScript always requests templates in the correct language

2. Server-Side (PHP):

Forces WPML to use the language from the URL parameter (?lang=en)
Switches WPML context during AJAX requests so WordPress queries return content in the right language
Filters template metadata to ensure the correct translated templates are loaded

In simple terms:
The plugin acts as a “translator” between WPML and tagDiv, making sure they both agree on which language is currently active. It catches every request tagDiv makes and stamps it with the correct language code before it reaches the server.
Result:
✅ Cloud Templates Library shows correct language templates
✅ Theme Panel dropdowns show correct language templates
✅ Language switching works immediately without page refresh issues

Cheers.
