WPML Advanced Translation Editor

therealc42

I have a website built using MuffinBuilder which I want to translate using the WPML Machine Translation. In order to use this, I need to use WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). However, whenever I'm on a page and click on translate on the right (like in the instructions) and the ATE opens up, none of the sites content (e.g. Columns) is loaded into the ATE - only the title. How can I use WPML's ATE with MuffinBuilder?

Hello, this doesn't answer my question.

I just tried the normal Translation Editor as well and it also doesn't work.

As you can see here, I have a page which is solely created using MuffinBuilder. I have not generated any content in the default WP Editor.

I would like to translate the content using WPML (e.g. the Column you can see).

If I click on the plus Icon to translate it like described in the instruction, I only see the following:

As you can see, the only translation option I am offered is the title. No content at all.

I would also point out that it is the exact same problem as described here:

Did you follow all of the steps from a tutorial?

Is your BeTheme and WP up to date?

Do you use the parent theme?

Also, is your PHP Version 7 or higher?

Thanks

Hey,

I have found this tutorial,

https://muffingroup.com/blog/translate-pages-wpml-plugin-muffinbuilder/

Can you please try this, step by step?

Please create a new page, and insert some dummy text for testing.

thanks

Hi, I followed the steps in the tutorial.

I created a new page, added a title and some test text.

Then, I also added a new section and wrapper in MuffinBuilder with a Column and some test text.

When I translate the page as described in the tutorial, I am offered fields for translating the title and the test text from the default WP Editor, but no field to translate the text in the Column.

And that's the problem. I need to translate MuffinBuilder content.

This is because the Muffin Builder content would have to be copies manually this way for translation.

To avoid manually moving the Muffin Builder content, you need to also check the "duplicate" option and click on duplicate.

Ok, I've done that and the MuffinBuilder Column has been copied over. However, if I now try to edit the translation using WPML's Translation Editor, I still am not given the choice to translate the column's content.

Bryan

This is not how you translate the Muffin Builder content. I must apologize because there have been some mistakes made in the WPML tutorial on our blog. We will fix that.

To translate the Muffin Builder content, you need to basically make a page duplicate in another language, then edit the Muffin Builder content manually.

Thank you for clarifying that. I had hoped there was an easier way, but now at least I know that I'm not doing anything wrong.
