category filter doesn't work in WPML

Question

I translate the categories to another language, but in the main page, the two language categories are all displayed. How can I filter another language? My WPML version is 2.4.1. I found all the categories are displayed on my theme, is there any way I can get the correspondence between the different language categories, so I can filter it.

Answer 1

First you should upgrade WPML to the latest version, which is 2.4.3 at time of writing.

To properly translate categories you should start by editing the category of the default language. Once you are in that screen (wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=x&post_type=post where x is the category ID), you will see at the bottom a metabox titled Language. This will show the current language of the category and you will be able to add a translation of it by clicking on the word "Add" under the name of the other language(s) of your site.
