I'm developing brokerage listing site. You can check the current development here: hidden link
It will be multisite, multilingual and multi user environment. Main site will be corporate site and every subsite will be one office with dedicated agents from that area.
My questions is, can I somehow depending on the site language (English or French) load different areas of the content templates. For example, if I'm on the EN site, I want to redirect buyers to EN contact form and if I'm in FR site, I would like to have ability to redirect them to FR contact form. I need this because I will have two different NDA's depending on the language.
Please check this screenshots: hidden link
Can this button (that block) have different link depending on site language? How can I accomplish that in content template?
I need something like this:
if lngv = EN show this block with link to EN NDA
if lngv = FR show this block with link to FR NDA
I know how to use WPML string translation module, but I can't translate links there.
I'm not sure if I need to ask this in WPML support or here.
Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Short answer: Yes, you can definitely build it with WPML and Toolset.
Long answer:
Depending on how you are presenting the NDA, the implementation may be different.
Most likely, the contact form will be on a page, and pages will be translated by WPML. So, the contact page will be translated by WPML. The form too. If you are adding a link to another page where the NDA is, that page will be translated too. If you are adding a link to a pdf file, that is stored in the Media library or in a Toolset custom field, you will still be able to translate it with WPML and provide a different pdf for the different languages.
If you provide more details on how you intend or you will build this, I might give accurate advice.
thanks for your quick feedback. I think we didn't understand each other. My question is, can I create multilingv content template. Please check this following link:
hidden link
I have button with predefined link inside of that button. How can I change the link inside of that block, that conditional block depending on the language choice.
That say, my link is now: /ottawa/nda/ and it will always be /ottawa/nda/, no matter what language I choose.
Can I say: if lngv EN show link /ottawa/nda/ if lngv FR show link /fr/ottawa/nda/
Or, how can I create multilingual content template?
If that does not work for you, or if you get stuck, please allow me temporary access to check your website closely. Your next reply will be private to let you share credentials safely. ** Make a database backup before sharing credentials. **
Both String Translation and Translation Management are required to translate Toolset content. I am afraid you have to fix the existing String Translation issue before proceeding further.
Well, regarding Translation Management, you can configure the translators and the translation managers in WPML->Translation Management. The first time you visit it, it will ask you to configure it. Then you can manage translation managers and translators in WPML->Translation Management->Translation Roles(tab). Check this article https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/working-with-translation-managers/
Regarding the usage of the Broadcast plugin and Addon, I can't really tell. You should probably ask the plugin's authors about the integration with WPML too.
Keep in mind that WPML will keep links between translations on the same site, in special WPML tables. So, I don't think syncing the posts' translations from one site to another will be smooth, it may create inconsistencies. Or it may need custom code to make sure that the original and translation posts are correctly linked in the target(broadcast) subsite.
The credentials are working for me and I can see a couple of content templates created using WP Bakery. Can you tell me which one you are working on? And what URL or link to the NDA is located? Some screenshots may help.
However, for support rules, we are able to handle only one issue at a time. This helps us to bring you a better service and also helps other users to find all the information here exposed. For that reason, I have to kindly ask you to open a new thread if you need assistance with any other issue or request.
Ok, thanks Jamal. Both plugins are now activated and enabled in Network Admin mode. I have question for you. If we want to use translation module as we have used so far, without any approval from translation managers, is this the right option to choose?

After this, I turned off this option hidden link
We want to have same ability as we had before. To go to pages / posts / custom post types and simply add new or create existing French pages / posts / custom post types. We really don't need those Translation managers roles. Just please confirm that this approach will work for us.
For content templates, most important now are the Posting and Broker content templates, as they will have multi lngv option. First priority is Posting content template, as we need that NDA link translated. Please keep in mind that this needs to be changed only in subsite (/ottawa/). That sad you can use this links:
/ottawa/nda/
/ottawa/fr/nda/
Thanks again Jamal, I know this is a lot information.
I am sure that we will get very confused if we try to discuss too many things on the same thread. It would be better if we focus on this one thread on one issue and get it cleared out.
I could not find the link that you are looking to translate in /ottawa/nda/
Can you provide a screenshot?
What mode of translation are you familiar with, or were you using?
- Using translation editors(Classic or Advanced editors).
- Manual translation. Editing each translation in WordPress screens as you would create or edit posts/pages
Let's focus on this ticket on how to translate the link that you are wanting to. And we can discuss anything else in another ticket. Please provide clear steps on what you do or want to do:
1. I go to xxx
2. I do xxx
3. I expect to have xxx
4. Instead, I get xxx
What I want to accomplish
===
Create multi language content template for Posting custom post type in multisite environment, BUT only for subsite Ottawa. I do not need that for Corporate site. Just for Ottawa sub site. When this content template is created for English and French language, I can change by myself that button from /ottawa/nda/ to /ottawa/fr/nda.
STEP 1. hidden link
STEP 2. hidden link
Summary
===
I just need clear explanation how to translate custom post type content template.
I hope this is short enough
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it
If you get stuck at any steps, please share a screenshot, or record a screencast of your manipulation, so I can continue from the point where you get stuck.
