Can't echo translated post-type name

    Hi. I need to echo some labels of my custom post types, namely the ‘name’ and the ‘singular_name’, but the translation is not working.

    I have created the custom-post-types with Types plugin, activated this custom post type in the Polylang > Settings section and added its correspondant translations for all labels (name, singular-name, etc.) in the String Translation section.

    But when I do $post_type = get_post_type(); $post_type_object = get_post_type_object($post_type); echo $post_type_object->labels->name what is echoed is the base language name. How can I get the translation of the current language?

    Thanks!

    Hi, any news about this?
    To be more specific, I need to display the translated name of my CPTs in search results, where multiple CPTs are shown, so I need to identify each post with its CPT’s name or singular-name.

    Hope you can help, thanks.

    Hi
    I don’t know if this plugin displays the Strings translation in the frontend. Generally to do that you need to use the pll__ function.

    Hi Chrysti, thanks.

    You’re right, this was much simpler than I thought: I just need to use pll_e() function to display the translated strings. So in my case it would be
    $post_type = get_post_type(); $post_type_object = get_post_type_object($post_type); echo pll_e($post_type_object->labels->name)

    Thanks again!
