Make a child theme translatable with WPML | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hello,

I would like parts of my child theme like the footer text to be translatable with WPML.

I read that there was a beginning of a solution here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/how-to-change-the-language-of-the-footer-using-wpml/

But when I copy the contents of wpml-config.xml into my child theme, it doesn’t work.

Can you help me?

Hello, in your case, you want to translate your custom texts, so it is a little more complicated, I recommend you to see this with the WPML support team, they probably have a documentation to show you how to do with examples.

Hello,

I found the solution.

Just copy the wpml-config.xml file and paste it into the child theme.

Then, you have to rename the tag :

<key name="theme_mods_oceanwp">

as follows :

<key name="theme_mods_child_theme_name">

and let’s go!

Thank you.

Hi, it is to translate the parent theme texts, you need to add your custom child theme texts in it.
