Hi,

I found some entries but no solution right now. I am using WPML on a dual language site. I would like to translate the portfolio slug using WPML. Is this possible right now?

Hi There,

Please add the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:

add_filter('option_x_custom_portfolio_slug','translate_portfolio_slug');
function translate_portfolio_slug( $content ) {
	return __( $content, '__x__' );
}

After that navigate to WPML String Translation then scan all the texts again.

Hope it helps 🙂

thx, this basically works, I now have the issue that the permalink of the portfolio item did not change. the generated link is “/produkte/” which is the german original I entered in the x-theme configuration. This is translated when browsing to “/products/”, which is correct, the english version of the item still shows “/produkte/product-item/”, and I cannot change this manually with the item since this only allows me to chante “product-item” and not “/produkte/produkt-item/”

Hi There,

Can you set that account to the Administrator?

Thanks.

fyi: I set the string translation to the original “produkte” so the site is working currently. after you have checked it I would like to set it to “products” again

Hi there,

It can’t be done without direct coding. Slugs are identifications of a page and changing it while running will detach them to the page it identifies which will result to 404.

There are two possible ways, but we can’t provide deeper customization.

1. Please check this https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-page-slugs/ and the file responsible for post type registration is this wp-content\themes\x\framework\functions\global\admin\custom-post-types.php

2. Or using .htaccess rewrite to redirect the request to translated slug then internally forward it to its respective WPML query variables. This is tricky and hard, I would contact WPML as they are more familiar with it.

Thanks!
