What plugin are you using for localizing your content?
I know that we’re not the greatest in terms of post type labels, because we store those values in the database, and haven’t found a great way yet to get those translation-ready.
However the post content itself isn’t an area that we’d be needing to touch, so I’m wondering if for some reason the plugin suite you’re using to translate your content isn’t finding it for some reason, and if so, why.
There’s no setting as part of register_post_type() that i’m aware of that would prevent this.

No plugin for localizing content. Simply done through WP through its native functions (two of the same pages but different languages.) IE through the sidebar language option.
I’m not familiar with this process at all and as far as I’m aware of, one typically needs a plugin of some sort to have multi-lingual WordPress.
It sounds like you’ve added a page, typed it in one language. Added a second page, typed it in a different language. Then you have functionality of some sort on the frontend that allows you to change the language being used, and apparently switches which page in the database gets queried and shown.
Are you certain you’re not using something like WPML or Loco Translate or similar? Cause the process I mention above would be just the same for a custom post type to have posts be in multiple languages, and still not something blocked by CPTUI.

My apologies, looks like we are using Polylang. The steps would be the same? I’ll have to look through the options and see whats blocking it then.
I believe so yes. I wonder if Polylang support could help as well, if needed. Unsure if they have settings to enable for post types, and maybe support just post and page out of box.
Did you get this one figured out @rpham ?

Yes! Figured it out. The language plugin we have has a section in the settings labeled “Custom post types“.
Thanks for your help Michael! 🙂
