    Please tell me if I use the correct duplication of listings in other languages and solve the problem.

    Consider a site with three languages and one country. In this example, users do not work in the main language of the site.

    Important: Because I use automatic Google map switching to the active language, when a user creates a listing, they can enter an address in any language and the map will set the default language to the location address.

    User #1 creates Listing #1 in the language interface #1 in language #1.

    User #2 creates Listing #2 in the language interface #2 in language #2.

    I need to make sure that in the interface of language number 1 and in the interface of language number 2 the visitor of the site could find all these 2 listings, because they belong to one city.

    To do this, I duplicate listing #1 on language #2, and I duplicate listing #2 on language #1. At the same time, I manually change the location in the new listings, so that it corresponds to the language in which the listing-duplicate was created.

    There is such a need in Ukraine, where people speak Ukrainian or Russian. And many people speak both Ukrainian and Russian. That’s why I need to show them the listings created in both languages.

    I have 4 questions:

    1) Am I designing the correct logic of the ads or do I have another logic?

    2) Is it possible to make the location address automatically change to the language in which the duplicate listing is created?

    3) Is it possible to automatically duplicate the listing in language No. 1 to language No. 2, to automatically duplicate the listing in language No. 2 to language No. 1, but not to apply it to other languages? Let me remind you that the language of the site is №3.

    4) if question #3 can be implemented, can the language of the location address be changed automatically?

    Please share WP Admin credentials and a link to listing 1 and 2 so we can check it out to see if it is correct.

    Why are these listings linked together like translations?

    If you used the duplicate tool of WPML, that’s what it does.

    If you don’t want the listing to be a translation do not duplicate, create a new listing instead.

    Thanks

    I don’t know why they’re connected, like translations. I created them as separate listings.

    I will remove these listings and create new ones for Alex.

    In WPML there should be an option to show untranslated listings in other languages, but you should ask WPML support to make sure it will work as you want it.

    This can’t be considered a GeoDirectory support request. The issue here is with WPML.

    Thanks

    I know that this feature is available in GD + WPML, but it applies only to a listing created in the main language of the site.

    But I will ask WPML about it.
