How to translate Admin text?​

WPML allows you to translate contents of the Customizer or different theme options as like sliders, footer, and widgets.

Finding the theme options and making them translatable

To make the theme options translatable go to the WPML -> String Translation page and click the Translate texts in admin screens option

On this page, you have to find the right option. Usually, theme options are listed somewhere below theme_mods_{theme_name}.

The following image shows an example, where we looked for the WP Real Estate Pro theme’s options and found them under WP Pro Real Estate 6_options.

Theme options are presented in a tree view and inside, we found the sliders stored under the name ct_flex_slider. We checked all slide titles to make them translatable.

Translating the theme options​

Now that the theme options are marked as translatable, they appear on the WPML->String Translation page. You translate them just like any other strings.

The following image shows our slides on the front-end after we translated all the slide title strings.

Other types of theme options​

Besides slides, you can use this approach for translating any other theme options.

For example, custom Widgets are usually found under options named similar to widget_{widget_name}.


Translating your theme options directly on the theme options panel​

You may face situations where you need to assign a different value for your theme options directly from the options panel. This is possible with WPML API since 3.9.3 version, however, it requires adding some code and using the wpml_multilingual_options function.
