Hi,
\nAmong others, we have been desperately waiting on compatibility between ECP & WPML for many years now. On older sites, we had created a custom Bing Translate integration for just the calendar, but this was never ideal (machines aren’t always that great at translating). And this stopped working with newer versions of everything.<\/p>\n
So we were ‘cautiously’ excited to hear that v.3.12 was FINALLY integrating with WPML (at least to a degree). But were weren’t able to locate any posts or documentation on proper setup and workflow, so hoping to find out if anyone has this working or what the ECP ‘official’ recommended workflow might be?!?<\/p>\n
We have a test site that has the latest versions of ECP & WPML plugins. And while we thought we were able to get it working in the back-end, we unfortunately are not seeing any results in the front-end of the site.<\/p>\n
Here’s what we did:<\/strong> – We clicked in the Language pane for a couple events to enter the Translation Editor and complete the translation for a couple sample events we had.<\/p>\n – We weren’t seeing any results in the front-end, so we then went into ‘Translation Management > Multilingual Content Setup’ and made sure that in the ‘Custom Posts’ section Events, Venues & Organizers were all set to ‘Translate’ (Events was already set to this). We then saw Events show up in the Translation Management interface, and sent a different sample event to the Translation Queue. We logged-in as our translator user and used the Translation Editor to translate this new event. Again, everything ‘appeared’ to work correctly in the back-end, including all status icons, etc.<\/p>\n Here’s what we see on the front-end:<\/strong> – We have an Upcoming Events list widget on our home page. In Spanish (our alt language), it shows as ‘No upcoming events’ (in Spanish).<\/p>\n – When viewing our main Calendar page, switching to Spanish gives a ‘No results’ message and no events show up on the calendar.<\/p>\n – When viewing as a List, we also get a ‘No Results’ message’.<\/p>\n ————————–<\/p>\n Has anyone had luck getting this to actually work? If so, let me know the versions of WPML and a standard workflow (including settings) that seems to work OK.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thanks for any help or suggestions here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1003509","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
\n– At first we didn’t see any difference or options to be able to translate events (they weren’t showing up in Translation Management or Translation Queue). But we opened a sample event in the editor and noticed a ‘Make Events Multilingual’ option. We checked this and it ‘appeared’ to make ECP function similar to posts & pages, with a language pane that allowed us to enter the ‘Translation Editor’ to make the translation. <\/p>\n
\n – When viewing one of the translated events on the site in English, clicking to switch languages takes us to a ‘Sorry, we can’t find the page you’re looking for (404)’ page. It looks like the URL structure it’s trying to use is: ‘\/es\/event\/spanish-event-title\/’.<\/p>\n
