Translating account tabs

[hazirahs]

Hi, how do I translate the account tabs (title plus the content from shortcode) using polylang or poedit? I translated the UM profile aside from the tabs through Poedit with no problem.

Hello @hazirahs

Custom account tabs cannot be translated using multilingual plugins. This is the same problem as translating custom profile tabs.

Custom tabs can only be translated using hooks and custom functions. Use hook um_account_page_default_tabs_hook for account tabs.

Example

function my_translate_account_tabs( $tabs ) {
	$lang  = pll_current_language();

	$texts = array(
		'Account' => array(
			'en' => 'Account',
			'es' => 'Cuenta',
		),
		'Change Password' => array(
			'en' => 'Change Password',
			'es' => 'Cambiar la contraseña',
		),
		'Custom fields' => array(
			'en' => 'Custom fields',
			'es' => 'Campos Personalizados',
		),
		'Social fields' => array(
			'en' => 'Social fields',
			'es' => 'Campos sociales',
		),
	);

	foreach ( $tabs as $p => $tab ) {
		foreach ( $tab as $k => $tabdata ) {
			if ( isset( $tabdata['title'] ) ) {
				$t = $tabdata['title'];
				if ( array_key_exists( $t, $texts ) ) {
					if ( array_key_exists( $lang, $texts[ $t ] ) ) {
						$tabs[ $p ][ $k ]['title'] = $texts[ $t ][ $lang ];
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return $tabs;
}
add_filter( 'um_account_page_default_tabs_hook', 'my_translate_account_tabs', 110, 1 );

There are many texts in UM that can not be easily translated. I want to add a tool for translating such texts to the extension for Polylang integration but this requires a lot of time because every place needs a specific hook.
