I have my site setup using Polylang to translate my site from English to French however when i click the French button the Featured slider and promotional Headline does not translate. Ive noticed that when I change the Language while inside of WP-customizer the slider translates but once I save and exit it locks onto the language that was active when i exit customizer. any help with this would be much appreciated im using wordpress 4.7 and the most recent version of Polylang translator. my site is http://michellevesquelifeinsurance.ca/

Thanks!!

@chirsdug: For this, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php, add the following codes:

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchresponsive_child_polylang_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing Polylang Invalid Cache
 *
 */
function catchresponsive_child_polylang_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_promotion_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catchresponsive_featured_slider' );
} // catchresponsive_child_polylang_invalidcache
endif;
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catchresponsive_child_polylang_invalidcache' );

This function is for Promotion Headline for custom language, with give you option to put the desired text for the translation.

function catchresponsive_child_polylang() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		$options 	= catchresponsive_get_theme_options();

		$promotion_headline        = $options['promotion_headline'];
		$promotion_subheadline     = $options['promotion_subheadline'];
		$promotion_headline_button = $options['promotion_headline_button'];
		$headline                  = $options ['featured_content_headline'];
		$subheadline               = $options ['featured_content_subheadline'];

		pll_register_string( 'featured_content_headline', $headline );
		pll_register_string( 'featured_content_subheadline', $subheadline );
		pll_register_string( 'promotion_headline', $promotion_headline );
		pll_register_string( 'promotion_subheadline', $promotion_subheadline );
		pll_register_string( 'promotion_headline_button', $promotion_headline_button );
	}
}
add_action ( 'admin_init', 'catchresponsive_child_polylang' );

Hi Mahesh

Thank you very much for your reply i was able to fix the slider issue however the promotion headline still does not translate or give me an option to add the translation in customizer. I noticed also that the title for featured content does not translate either. Thank you in advance for the help it is much apreciated!!

Thanks

@chrisdug: It won’t add the translation option in the Customizer but gives you option to add translation within the plugin. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Settings=> Languages and select String Translation tab. You can add the translation for Promotion Headline here.
Note: Added the translation options for Featured Content Headline and Sub Headline in the above code.

Mahesh
