Events in WPML

    Hello.

    I’ve just installed the WPML multi-languange support for my site, and my site allows visitors to create events using the front end “add event” form.

    However, I noticed that events created in one language does not appear in the alternative language version of the website. For example, if a visitor creates event “A” while viewing the French version of the website, a user viewing the English site won’t see event “A”.

    I do see that there is an option in WPML settings to make events translatable. However, that seems to mean someone will have to create the other language versions in the backend.

    Is there a way to set it such that any events, no matter which language they are created in, can be seen in all versions of the website? (The events doesn’t need to be translated- it can appear in whatever language it was created in)

    Thanks!

    hi,

    did you also installed ‘Events Manager and WPML Compatibility’ ?

    Yes, the compatibility plug-in was also installed. Is that the right thing to do?

    hmm, sorry but I might misread your issue; so basically, you want events submitted via frontend event submission form to appear in all other languages without translating it?

    e.g.
    Event A is submitted as french and should appear as french either in Spanish, German or English

    Is that correct?

    Yes exactly!

    Hmm okay, that’s going to be difficult – you’d need to do one of two things;

    • Get the event submitter to manually add the translated versions in your backend
    • Manually translate each event yourself once submitted
    • Find a way to automatically translate events upon submission

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    though in my case it is impractical to get the manually add the translated version.

    Would you know how I can automate the duplication of events into the other languages upon submission? Do I have create some php functions?

    chances are you’d need to use php, i don’t think WPML has a way of doing that automatically.

    I haven’t written a function before- so should I be creating an action that hooks to the point when the user submits an event? Is there such a hook? I wasn’t able to find documentation on EM’s hooks and filters.

    Thanks!

    An update: It seems that if I was able to solve the problem by deactivating “Events Manager and WPML Compatibility”.

    Now all events are showing no matter what language the user is viewing in.

    i didn’t think about that, but atm WPML mostly deals with hiding different lagnauges from each other, so what you want doesn’t require WPML ??

    however, in the future, things like booking forms and ticket names will be translatable so you may want to reconsider when the time comes
