VARIATION GALLERY VIDEO problem with WPML translation

Beni Gasser

Hi

We have a problem with our videos in the product gallery, they are showing up well in the original language (English):

But if you go to the translated page (German) the video is not shown correctly:

The product which I tested it with is this:

https://dev3.lmp-adapter.com/product/gallery-test-en/?attribute_pa_color=dark-blue

https://dev3.lmp-adapter.com/de/produkt/gallery-test-de/?attribute_pa_color=dunkelblau

 

I made you a staging environment you can make what ever you want with it, I will delete it afterward anyway.

Hi Beni,

Thanks for reaching out to us. You didn’t translate the media files and the extension of WPML for Media Translate is not active on your site. You have to add the images with the video link for separate languages.

If you have no idea about Media Translate, please contact the WPML support team. I hope they will help you with this media translation.

Thank You

Hi Beni,

This works, but it is not very comfortable.

This is the only way to add additional parameters for media. We add an additional field for the image to insert a video link. You are not duplicating the image just adding the parameter for the image in another language.

It’s also not the way WPML is recommending translating things.

Can you please share the link where you get this information that is not recommended?

Usually these translations should appear in the translation from the product in the Advanced Translator Editor:

It is about the media file, not the product. Each media file has some fields like title, description, etc. We added some more fields to display the video.

I hope this explanation will help.

Thank You
