ACF Frontend Polylang

Hello,

Yes there is. We are working on a way to make it more intuitive, but in the mean time, you can use a taxonomy field to let the user choose which language the post should be.

You can also use a duplicate post form to let the user duplicate the post in another language using a taxonomy field.

Than you! It is a solution.

But the new post (in another language) is not connected to the original post? ??

Navigating and clicking on the polylang switch language icon may not switch to the correct post in the other language, right?

anyway i love acf frontend

Correct the posts are t connected. I am writing this down for implementation very soon. I’ll keep you posted.

I’m glad you love our plugin. ??

gracias, thanks.

Hola Roberto,

To create the translations button is not very difficult:

There are 2 functions that you need to check against the $postID: pll_get_post_language and pll_get_post_translations

With those functions, you can check which language version is available.

To create a Polylang translate button which links to the original, you have to create a Polylang nonce. This nonce is specific to Polylang and won’t work without it.

$nonce_url = wp_nonce_url( $url, 'new-post-translation' );

$url = '/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=YOURCPT&from_post='.$postID.'&new_lang='.$language_to_translate_to;

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the great plugin and previous discussions.

@shabti Is there any progress with adding option to connect translated posts to original?

@xamax Did you perhaps find a way to start creating a connected translation using a front-end form and not a wp-admin URL?

Best regards,
Verner
