    Hello,

    I'm not sure if it is a good place to ask. I'm using WPML and I'm wondering if there's an option to translate custom setting page like normal page. I've create custom plugin which includes metabox via composer. Also I've created wpml-config.xml file and fields I've registered ale capable of translation but not in user friendly way.

    These fields can be translated via "String translation" menu page in WPML. Moreover there's raw HTML in these fields which is generated form WYSIWYG field so "regular" user can be confused. I would like to achieve something like normal page

    I'm not sure if it is possible or just I don't know how to do that.

    I know that ACF PRO allow you to "separate" custom fields in settings page depended on language.

    Right now with metabox if I switch languages in my settings page content of fields is the same and changing it changes fields globally.

    Hi Bezzo,

    Interesting question! Thanks for asking this.

    Using wpml-config.xml is the standard way and is recommended by WPML. However, if you need to have different settings per language, you can use the ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE constant to detect current language and set the field IDs based on that.

    This is the sample code:

    $prefix = ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE . '_';
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title' => 'Fields',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'id' => $prefix . 'text',
                'name' => 'Text',
                'type' => 'text',
            ],
            // Other fields.
        ],
    ];

    To get the field value, you can create a helper function like this:

    function my_setting( $field_id ) {
        $option_name = 'my_option';
    
        $field_id = ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE . '_' . $field_id; // Prepend the language code.
        return rwmb_meta( $field_id, array( 'object_type' => 'setting' ), $option_name );
    }

    I also have an extra settings page and WPML in use.
    I created it with the Page Builder.
    How can I translate the fields now?

    And how can I use "$prefix" in the "MB Builder" plugin?
