Title: MLA WPML Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # MLA WPML * Resolved [Karastel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karastel/) * (@karastel) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/) * I use WPML plugin to translate content. * There are two problems: - Tag cloud [displays](http://fresh-trip.ru/fotoalbomy/) all language versions of taxonomies. - When I assign a “Att. category” it is not synchronized with other language version of photo. This happens even if I create a second language version of the photos after the appointment “Att. category”. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-library-assistant/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-library-assistant/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989634) * Thank you for this report. I have reproduced both of your problems in my WPML test system. * WPML has features for managing taxonomy term translations and for using language- specific terms with posts and pages. However, I do not believe it has any capability for managing term assignments for Media Library items such as photos. * I will work on both of your problems for a future MLA version, and I will post an update to this topic when I have progress to report. Thanks for your patience while I see what can be done. * Thread Starter [Karastel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karastel/) * (@karastel) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989635) * Thank you! * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989703) * I have just uploaded a new Development Version that contains two WPML-related enhancements: 1.

I did not want to write in this thread so far, before all do not work the way I wanted. But once you have the new version, I’ll write what has been accomplished: - we went back to the conclusion of categories through a file taxonomy.php - I put you code with class walker in function.php: * ``` /** * Class MNA_Pad_Counts_Walker adds accurate, padded attachment counts to taxonomy terms. * * Class Walker is defined in /wp-includes/class-wp-walker.php * Class Walker_Category is defined in /wp-includes/category-template.php */ class MNA_Pad_Counts_Walker extends Walker_Category { /** * MLA Terms * * @var array */ public $mla_terms = array(); /** * Constructor - set the MLA Terms. * * @param string Taxonomy name/slug. */ function __construct( $taxonomy ) { $attr = array ( 'taxonomy' => $taxonomy, 'pad_counts' => 'true', ); $terms = MLAShortcodes::mla_get_terms( $attr ); unset( $terms['found_rows'] ); foreach ( $terms as $term ) { $this->mla_terms[ $term->term_taxonomy_id ] = $term->count; } } /** * Start the element output. * * @see Walker::start_el() * * @param string Passed by reference. Used to append additional content. * @param object Taxonomy data object. * @param int Depth of category in reference to parents. Default 0. * @param array An array of arguments. @see wp_list_categories() * @param int ID of the current category. */ function start_el( &$output, $taxonomy_object, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) { if ( isset( $this->mla_terms[ $taxonomy_object->term_taxonomy_id ] ) ) { $taxonomy_object->count = $this->mla_terms[ $taxonomy_object->term_taxonomy_id ]; } parent::start_el( $output, $taxonomy_object, $depth, $args, $id ); } }// Class MNA_Pad_Counts_Walker ``` - I put this function in function.php: * - ``` function mla_ul_li_function() { echo(''); } add_shortcode( 'mla_ul_li', 'mla_ul_li_function' ); ``` * - In taxonomy.php I put this code: * ``` $is_media_archive = in_array( $wp_query->query_vars['taxonomy'], array( 'attachment_category', 'attachment_tag' ) ); if ( $is_media_archive ) { if ( isset( $_REQUEST['use_mla_gallery'] ) ) { $use_mla_gallery = true; } else { $use_mla_gallery = false; $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query_vars, array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_status' => 'inherit' ) ); query_posts( $args ); } } ``` - Also in taxonomy.php I put this code: * ``` echo do_shortcode('[mla_ul_li]'); //categorys $mla_link_attributes = sprintf( 'data-imgid="%1$s" data-postid="%2$s"', $data_imgid, $data_postid ); $mla_caption = "
{+excerpt+}"; //pagination echo '
'. __( 'Pages:', 'mantra' ).''.do_shortcode( sprintf( '[mla_gallery %1$s="%2$s" posts_per_page="60" mla_output="paginate_links" mla_link_href="%3$s?"]', $wp_query->query_vars['taxonomy'], $wp_query->query_vars['term'], $wp_query->query_vars['page_url'] )).'
'; //photos echo do_shortcode( sprintf( '[mla_gallery %1$s="%2$s" mla_caption=\'%3$s\' mla_link_attributes=\'%4$s\' link="file" posts_per_page="60"]', $wp_query->query_vars['taxonomy'], $wp_query->query_vars['term'], $mla_caption, $mla_link_attributes) ); ``` * This solution is allowed to create a [structured list of categorys](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/structured-list-of-tags). And attachment_category displays only for current language versions. * You can see how it’s working [here](http://fresh-trip.com/attachment_category/marine-fauna/). * Now, if I update parameters photographs (for example, change the title), the language categories synchronized (but only for this photo). I do not know how it happened, I did not change anything else:-) * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989706) * Thank you for your update, and for taking the time to work through the “structured list of categories” topic and implementation with your developer friend. The results in your “marine fauna” page look great! * You wrote “**_And attachment\_category displays only for current language versions_**”– are you using the Development Version I uploaded on 22 April? * I am not quite sure what you mean by “**_if I update parameters photographs ( for example, change the title), the language categories synchronized (but only for this photo)._**“, but I have not yet made any changes for term synchronization. * I have just uploaded a **new Development Version (dated 20150426)** that contains another WPML-related enhancement: 1. The Media/Assistant submenu table displays a “language management” column when WPML is active. This lets you easily see the translation status of all items and to add or edit translations in any active language, even if the item is not attached to a post or page. * I am still working on the term-synchronization issue, your second problem. * You can find step-by-step instructions for using the Development Version in this earlier topic: * [MLA errors when using plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-errors-when-using-plugin) * I will leave this topic unresolved until the new features are released in the next MLA version. Please take some time to try the new Development Version and let me know if it meets your needs. Thanks for your help with this topic. * Thread Starter [Karastel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karastel/) * (@karastel) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989707) * > You wrote “And attachment_category displays only for current language versions”– > are you using the Development Version I uploaded on 22 April? * Now — Yes. But before the upgrade, with the above-described method, the problem disappeared. ——– * > I am not quite sure what you mean by “if I update parameters photographs (for > example, change the title), the language categories synchronized (but only > for this photo).”, but I have not yet made any changes for term synchronization. * For example: There is a photograph attached to Russian categories “[Транспорт](http://fresh-trip.ru/attachment_category/transport-ru/)/ [Воздушный](http://fresh-trip.ru/attachment_category/vozdushnyj/)“. But this photo is not attached to the corresponding English categories (because I attached a photo to the Russian categories before to create the appropriate English). Then I created the English categories “Transport / Air” and linked it with the Russian category “Транспорт / Воздушный”, using WPML plugin. Then I opened the photo & clicked “update”. The photo is automatically attached to English categories“ [Transport](http://fresh-trip.com/attachment_category/transport/) / [Air](http://fresh-trip.com/attachment_category/air/).” * Plugin Author [David Lingren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglingren/) * (@dglingren) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mla-wpml/#post-5989708) * Thank you for responding to my questions with the additional information about your application. * I believe the first answer regarding the “above-described method” makes sense. You are using the WordPress `wp_list_categories()` function to get the category list. WPML will intercept the database queries made by this function and return language-specific results. You are using `mla_get_terms()` to get term-specific counts. The MLA production version will return counts for all languages, but your Walker will only access the counts it needs. Using the Development Version will give you language-specific counts. This is somewhat more efficient, but you will not notice any difference in the displayed output. * Your second answer regarding term synchronization puzzles me. I have tried to do the steps you describe on my test system, but “opening the photo and clicking update” does not automatically assign the terms from one language to another. * I would like to continue this dialog by e-mail, which will be easier and more productive. If you send me your contact information I will reply with a more detailed explanation of my testing and results. You can use the Contact Us page at the FTJ web site: * [Fair Trade Judaica/Contact Us](http://fairtradejudaica.org/our-story/contact-us/) * Thanks for working with me on this issue.
