Translating additional Elementor widgets

Gato AI Translations for Polylang can translate widget-based Elementor pages.

The plugin ships with support for all Elementor and Elementor PRO widgets, and provides the ability for users to support additional widgets.

Supporting additional Elementor widgets

You can translate custom widgets from your application, or widgets from 3rd-party plugins.

Please read guide Extending Page Builder elements to translate first.

The documentation below is a continuation of that process, applied to Elementor widgets.

For instance, let's say we have a "My Call to Action" widget with the following JSON structure (visible via field elementorFlattenedDataItems, as explained in the next section):

{
  "id": "206a911",
  "elType": "widget",
  "settings": {
    "title": "This is the heading",
    "description": "Your Call to Action content comes here",
    "button": "Click Here"
  },
  "elements": [],
  "widgetType": "my-call-to-action"
}

Let's see how to add support for translating this widget.

Identify the widget properties to translate

The plugin translates widgets by extracting all the widget properties from within the _elementor_data JSON, translating those, injecting the translated properties back into the JSON, and then saving the JSON back to the post meta.

In order to extract the properties from a widget, the plugin needs to know which properties are translatable.

Execute the Translate custom posts GraphQL query, and browse all the widgets and their properties in the GraphQL response, under key elementorFlattenedDataItems.

Identifying the widget properties to translate
Identifying the widget properties to translate

Explore that entry to identify the widget properties that must be translated, and based on its structure, replicate the corresponding GraphQL query logic from the examples below.

Widget structure patterns

There are 3 common patterns for storing widget data in the _elementor_data JSON:

  1. Properties only
  2. Arrays of elements only
  3. Properties + arrays of elements

1. Properties only: Animated Headline

The animated-headline widget stores properties only (before_text, highlighted_text, rotating_text, and after_text) in its JSON structure:

{
  "id": "6dac79c",
  "elType": "widget",
  "settings": {
    "before_text": "This page is",
    "highlighted_text": "Amazing",
    "rotating_text": "Better\nBigger\nFaster",
    "after_text": "And super brilliant"
  },
  "elements": [],
  "widgetType": "animated-headline"
}

This is the GraphQL query implementation:

The GraphQL query in this doc may be outdated compared to the latest version of the plugin.

Please copy the code from the Translate custom posts GraphQL query instead.

2. Arrays of elements only: Price List

The price-list widget stores arrays of elements only (properties title and item_description under entry price_list) in its JSON structure:

{
  "id": "1fc4fc6",
  "elType": "widget",
  "settings": {
    "price_list": [

The link-in-bio widget (and also its variations link-in-bio-var-2 til link-in-bio-var-5) stores both properties (bio_heading, bio_title, and bio_description) and arrays of elements (property cta_link_text under cta_link) in its JSON structure:

Working on some code editor, copy the GraphQL query into a new file (you can format it as GraphQL to have syntax highlighting), add the 12 sections for the new widget, and copy the adapted query back into the GraphiQL client.

Then execute the query, and check if the translated post has the widget properties translated (by editing the translated post in Elementor and refreshing the page).

Repeat until it all works, and then persist the query via a hook in PHP code.

Persist the GraphQL query via hooks in PHP code

When using the gatompl:persisted_query hook, the placeholders in the GraphQL query to inject the custom logic are:

  • ##### Insert code for Elementor widgets (e-1)
  • ##### Insert code for Elementor widgets (e-2)
  • ...
  • ##### Insert code for Elementor widgets (e-12)

Example implementation

Let's add support for the "My Call to Action" widget, which has the following JSON structure:

{
  "id": "206a911",
  "elType": "widget",
  "settings": {
    "title": "This is the heading",
    "description": "Your Call to Action content comes here",
    "button": "Click Here"
  },
  "elements": [],
  "widgetType": "my-call-to-action"
}

As this widget stores properties only, we can replicate the pattern from the "Animated Headline" widget.

Using the gatompl:persisted_query hook to inject the logic into the GraphQL query, the PHP logic is this one (notice that inside <<<GRAPHQL, GraphQL variables must be escaped: \$):

add_filter(
  'gatompl:persisted_query',
  function (string $persistedQuery, string $persistedQueryFile): string {
    if (str_ends_with($persistedQueryFile, '/translate-customposts-for-polylang.gql')) {
      return str_replace(
