A follow up to yesterday’s post: Getwid-Megamenu WPML
I ran into an issue that the Previous & Next buttons in my single-post template were not translatable in WPML.
The first step was to take a look at the HTML for the block from the editor:
<!-- wp:post-navigation-link {"type":"previous","label":"Previous Story","arrow":"arrow"} /-->
We can see that the text we want to translate is in the “label” field.
In a wpml-config.xml file (in your theme), or in WPML->Settings->Custom XML Configuration you can set that a field in a blocks attributes is translatable. Here is how to do that for the block above:
<wpml-config>
<gutenberg-blocks>
<gutenberg-block type="core/post-navigation-link" translate="1">
<key name="label" />
</gutenberg-block>
</gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>
Save that, then send the template to translation again and it should now be able to be translated.
