Overview of the issue
When using Grid Builder with WPML and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), there’s a problem with Facets using custom fields. Even though the ACF field labels are translated in the backend, they are not reflected in the frontend.
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.
For Select fields
- Open your theme’s functions.php file.
- Add the following code:
// WPML Workaround for wpmlsupp-11647 function wpml_wpmlsupp11647_translate_facet_choices( $choices, $facet ) { if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) { foreach ($choices as &$choice) { $string = $choice->facet_name; $textdomain = 'facets'; $string_name = 'Facet: '.substr($string, 0, 20); if ( apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL ) == apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL )) { do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $string ); } // Apply the translation to the string $choice->facet_name = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $string , $textdomain, $string_name); } } return $choices; } add_filter( 'wp_grid_builder/facet/choices', 'wpml_wpmlsupp11647_translate_facet_choices', 10, 2 ); - Visit the page with the facets in the original language to register the strings.
- Go to WPML > String Translation page and translate the strings.
Note: Depending on how your Facets were built, this other snippet may be helpful:
// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7453
function wpml_compsupp7453_translate_facet_block_custom_field( $output ) {
if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
if( is_string($output) ) {
$string = $output;
$textdomain = 'facets';
$string_name = 'Facet: '.substr($string, 0, 20);
if ( apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL ) == apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL )) {
do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $string );
}
// Apply the translation to the string
$output = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $string , $textdomain, $string_name);
}
}
return $output ;
}
add_filter( 'wp_grid_builder/block/custom_field', 'wpml_compsupp7453_translate_facet_block_custom_field', 99, 2 );
