How to use WPML-translation in Pods-templates
-
I have a multilingual website with WPML using Pods with Custom Types and its templates. I was able to get my templates translated and used on the different languages by unchecking “Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality”. But I’ve searched around a bit but can’t seem to find an solution for my issues.
I want to print a list of pages which I extended with a checkbox to have it show up in the specific list. I use the ‘Pods Item List’-block. For every page it prints all the languages. How can I limit it to only a chosen language or maybe the language of the template?I want to print a list of custom categories and underneath each category the associated post-types. I use the ‘Pods Item List’-block with the custom categories. I always prints the links to the categories and post-types in the standard language although the categories and post-types are translated. How do I specify to use which language or reference to the translated values of the taxonomies or post-types?

I did two things:
1. Extended the Pages (WordPress core) with a checkbox.
I use a Pods Item List Block with a template to show pages with this checkbox checked. It lists the pages in all languages. So if I translated a page into two other languages, it is shown three times.
2. Created a CPT. I use a Pods Item List Block to show them. Same thing happens. It lists all the custom posts, not just the one in the current language.
I worked around this by extending everything with a language-field and translating the templates with each template filtering on this field.
And I created a few functions to get the translated content.
function pods_wpml_permalink($p) {
return apply_filters( ‘wpml_permalink’, $p, apply_filters( ‘wpml_current_language’, null ), true );
}
function pods_wpml_post_title($id) {
return apply_filters( ‘wpml_get_element_translations’, array(), apply_filters( ‘wpml_element_trid’, false, $id, ‘post_post’ ), ‘post_post’ )[apply_filters( ‘wpml_current_language’, null )]->post_title;
}
function pods_wpml_taxonomy_name($id) {
return apply_filters( ‘wpml_get_element_translations’, array(), apply_filters( ‘wpml_element_trid’, false, $id, ‘tax_aanbod-categorie’ ), ‘tax_aanbod-categorie’ )[apply_filters( ‘wpml_current_language’, null )]->name;
}
WPML-support referred me to this post https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wp_query/#post-10163421 mentioning the ‘suppress_filters’ attribute needed. Don’t know how Pods implements this in the background. Or whether there are other workarounds at the moment.
Currently I’m only using Pods-templates with Blocks. Maybe building my own in PHP might give me more options. But haven’t dived into Pods using PHP yet.
Another issue I encountered is the filter with Pods Item List Block. It filters all the Pods Item List blocks on a page, not just the one for which you enabled the filter. But maybe I should open another ticket for this?
