I finally found the proper solution on what I wanted to achieve.
Language: EN
Field groups are not translated.
Post type ‘profile’ set to: “Appear as translated”.
Then by using load_field I run every (static) value that is possible/present in the form through a function which returns a translatable string.
With this function I can now create translatable strings from an entire form instead without the need of duplicating the field group etc.
Right now I translate the following ‘things’, but more might be added (if the need comes for it).
– labels
– choices
– options
– placeholders
– button labels
– instructions
In case someone is interested, here’s the code.
// if $field[ 'parent' ] == group_x
if ( in_array( $field[ 'parent' ], ['group_57e3ed6c8b5f8', 'group_5938c49eb2247'] ) ) {
if ( in_array( $field[ 'label' ], [ 'Tour Schedule' ] ) ) {
$field[ 'button_label' ] = i18n_values( $field[ 'button_label' ] );
}
if ( in_array( $field[ 'label' ], [ 'Nationality' ] ) ) {
if ( is_array( $field['choices'] ) && count( $field['choices'] ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $field['choices'] as $key => $choice ) {
$field['choices'][ $key ] = i18n_countries( $choice );
}
}
asort( $field['choices'] );
}
if ( in_array( $field[ 'label' ], ['Sex', 'Date type', 'Services', 'Hair colour', 'Eye colour', 'Build'] ) ) {
if ( is_array( $field['choices'] ) && count( $field['choices'] ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $field['choices'] as $key => $choice ) {
$field['choices'][ $key ] = i18n_values( $choice );
}
}
}
if ( in_array( $field[ 'type' ], ['true_false', 'message'] ) ) {
$field[ 'message' ] = i18n_values( $field[ 'message' ] );
}
if ( $field[ 'type' ] == 'text' ) {
$field[ 'placeholder' ] = i18n_values( $field[ 'placeholder' ] );
}
$field[ 'label' ] = i18n_values( $field[ 'label' ] );
$field[ 'instructions' ] = i18n_values( $field[ 'instructions' ] );
}
And I run the values through this function to translate them. It only has 1 value, but in my own file there are tons.
function i18n_values( $value ) {
$translation = $value;
switch ( $value ) {
case 'Female':
$translation = __( 'Female', 'text-domain' );
break;
}
return $translation;
}
i18n_countries does the same but only for country names.
