Introduction

As a user of JetEngine and Polylang, you may have encountered issues with media gallery compatibility when using translations. In this article, we will delve into the problem and explore possible solutions to ensure seamless integration between JetEngine's media gallery and Polylang's translation features.

The Problem

When creating a new post in the English language and adding an image to the Image Gallery, everything works as expected. However, when creating a copy of the post in the Vietnamese language, the image in the Image Gallery is displayed in both English and Vietnamese languages. Conversely, when deleting the selected images and selecting them again in the Vietnamese version, the image in the English side is displayed in both English and Vietnamese languages.

This issue can be quite frustrating, especially when working with multilingual content. To resolve this problem, you may need to uncheck the "Custom fields" option in the Polylang Synchronization Settings. This workaround may not be ideal, but it can help you get around the issue for now.

Reproducing the Problem

To better understand the issue, I have created a video demonstrating the problem. You can view the video here: https://www.loom.com/share/87ee01f8b93e477d983ede24c3236898?sid=98d5a066-1a30-463e-bdbf-1e1301d9cddb

Polylang's Response

When I reported the issue to Polylang, they responded with a video of their own, attempting to reproduce the problem. Unfortunately, they were unable to replicate the issue, and the media gallery was correctly added and data was available in the database. However, nothing was shown on the frontend in the secondary language. You can view their video here: https://www.loom.com/share/4ccea311ae154b00882dc46452255067?focus_title=1&muted=1&from_recorder=1

Compatibility Issues

It appears that the issue may be related to the fields associated with the Gallery and media. As Polylang mentioned, the JetEngine team had announced their plugins' compatibility with Polylang at WordCamp Europe in Torino last year. However, it seems that there may be some underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the issue with media gallery compatibility when using translations with Polylang and JetEngine is a complex one. While unchecking the "Custom fields" option in the Polylang Synchronization Settings may provide a temporary solution, it is not an ideal fix. We hope that the JetEngine and Crocoblock teams will address this issue soon to ensure seamless integration between their plugins and Polylang.
