    Hello,
    I am finishing building my site, but I can't find one detail: how can I translate the name of the custom post type using WPML? The default language is Croatian, and I need to translate the post type name into English and Slovenian. Please check what I mean in the screenshot; you can still see the original (default) name of the post type in the breadcrumbs. I need to translate that (the heading on that page is manually translated, but the untranslated post type name appears in the breadcrumbs).
    The screenshot: https://freeimage.host/i/BiPmXxn

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Sinisa,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I suggest you follow the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/integrations/wpml/#custom-post-types
    to translate posts and post type name using WPML. For the translation in the frontend, you can contact WPML support and ask them for more information.

    Hello Peter,
    Thank you very much. However, your answer didn't help, as I had already read all your documentation before I sent you the ticket. So, basically, you transferred me to WPML support.

    P.S. Based on what I can read from your message, you don't wish to handle my case and are easily transferring me to WPML, which is not acceptable. WPML can also direct me to ask MetaBox support in the same way. I hope they will take the time to read and understand my case, unlike you.
    Regards.

    Hello,

    The compatibility with WPML supports translating the post type labels to other languages and it works properly. But I'm not sure if the breadcrumb in the frontend uses the post type label in a correct way and makes it translatable. Since it is not created by Meta Box so I'm not able to check it.
    If you want to check the issue further, please share your site admin account by submitting this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/

    Thank you.
