Overview of the issue

If you are using the Elementor loop template feature, buttons aren’t translated on the front-end even if they are available for translation in the Advanced Translation Editor.

Workaround

Please be sure of making a full backup of your site before proceeding.

1. Open the /wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Integrations/Elementor/class-wpml-elementor-translate-ids.php file.


2. Look for line 108.


3. Replace the WPML_Elementor_Translate_IDs::translate_global_widget_ids() method:

   public function translate_global_widget_ids( $data_array, $post_id ) {
   		foreach ( $data_array as &$data ) {
   			if ( isset( $data['elType'] ) && 'widget' === $data['elType'] ) {
   				if ( 'global' === $data['widgetType'] ) {
   					$data['templateID'] = $this->translate_id( $data['templateID'] );
   				} elseif ( 'template' === $data['widgetType'] ) {
   					$data['settings']['template_id'] = $this->translate_id( $data['settings']['template_id'] );
   				}
   			}
   			$data['elements'] = $this->translate_global_widget_ids( $data['elements'], $post_id );
   		}
   
   		return $data_array;
   	}

   With:

   public function translate_global_widget_ids( $data_array, $post_id ) {
           foreach ( $data_array as &$data ) {
               if ( isset( $data['elType'] ) && 'widget' === $data['elType'] ) {
                   if ( 'global' === $data['widgetType'] ) {
                       $data['templateID'] = $this->translate_id( $data['templateID'] );
                   } elseif ( 'template' === $data['widgetType'] || 'loop-grid' === $data['widgetType'] || 'loop-carousel' === $data['widgetType']) {
                       $data['settings']['template_id'] = $this->translate_id( $data['settings']['template_id'] );
                   } 
               }
               $data['elements'] = $this->translate_global_widget_ids( $data['elements'], $post_id );
           }
     
           return $data_array;
       }
