Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am using a code for displaying the age (only years) from a custom field with the date of birth.
It's working very well on my website.
The problem is, that I also use WPML and on the translated page it's not working due to the nested shortcode inside of the view.

The Custom Code:
add_shortcode( 'calculate_age', 'func_calculate_age_from_date_field');
function func_calculate_age_from_date_field($atts){
$age = 0;
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
'field' => '',
), $atts ) );

$age = floor( (time() - $field) /(365*24*60*60));
return $age;
}

The Code inside of the view:
[calculate_age field='[types field="geburtstag" output="raw"][/types]'

--> How to change the code inside of the view to make the code working on the translated page?
I tried to change it like this, but then I am causing a critical error (on translated page):
[format-date-difference start="geburtstag"][/format-date-difference]

I also tried the code mentioned in the following post:

Like the first code it's working well on the website. But on pages translated with wpml it's not working anymore.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Don't know if this is important, I am using the toolset legacy.
