    I am trying to translate URLs/Links for LayerSlider bundled in the Enfold Theme. Please see summary of the issue:

    Hey Rustum,
    My research points that you must Duplicate Your Slider for Each Language by going to LayerSlider WP > All Sliders and click the “Duplicate” button for your original slider. Create a separate slider instance for each language you want to support. Then open each duplicated slider and modify the layer links to point to the appropriate pages in that specific language.
    Links added in Layer Settings > Link may not translate automatically on the front end, which is why the duplication approach is necessary.
    Please note that we are not the authors of the Layerslider and are limited in our knowledge of this topic, here is the official Layerslider support, perhaps they will have a better solution.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Yes, I understand that I can duplicate the slider for each language.
    I also understand that Enfold is not the author of the Layerslider plugin. However, Layerslider is bundled in the Enfold theme, this wasn’t purchased directly, so I am unable to contact Layerslider support as they require a purchase code/license key.
    Please advise if you can pass this message to the Layerslider support team.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have asked someone that I believe has access, and we will reply when we hear back. It might take a few days, so thanks for your patience.

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    This is the response that we heard from layerslider:

    We’re already in touch with the user and the WPML team about this.

    At the moment, manually entered URLs aren’t registered as translatable strings. For internal links, it’s best to use the Choose Page or Post button below the linking text field, since that automatically applies the correct URL.

    We’re considering registering manually added URLs as translatable strings as well, but that could introduce unintended side effects, so we’re evaluating it carefully.

    The workaround you suggested works well as a last resort. That said, if it’s an internal link, it’s essentially a one-click solution with the selector.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Thanks Mike,

    I will go ahead with the workaround per now, though not the ideal solution, as the site will have +- 10 languages, so it takes a lot of effort and causes unnecessary bloat to have a brand new slider for each language.

    Please go ahead and mark this as resolved for now.
