<p><strong>Tested with:</strong><br />

* WPML Multilingual CMS 4.7.4<br />
* WPML String Translation 3.3.3</p>
<h4>Why this plugin matters for accessibility</h4>
<p>In multilingual websites, accessibility information should be available in all languages. ARIA attributes provide essential accessibility information that helps assistive technologies understand and navigate your website. By making these attributes translatable, you ensure that all users, regardless of language or ability, can access your content effectively.</p>
<h3>Usage Instructions</h3>
<h4>How to add ARIA attributes in Elementor</h4>
<ol>
<li>Edit any element in Elementor</li>
<li>Go to the “Advanced” tab</li>
<li>Find the “Custom Attributes” section</li>
<li>Add the ARIA attributes you want to translate</li>
</ol>
<h4>Compatible formats</h4>
<p>Elementor indicates: “Set custom attributes for the wrapper element. Each attribute in a separate line. Separate attribute key from the value using <code>|</code> character.”</p>
<p>You can add ARIA attributes in two ways:</p>
<p><strong>Basic format (one attribute per line):</strong><br />
    <code>aria-label|Text to translate</code></p>
<p><strong>Multiline format (multiple attributes):</strong><br />
    <code>aria-label|Text to translate<br />
aria-description|Another description</code></p>
<p>This will generate the corresponding HTML attributes in the frontend:<br />
    aria-label=”Text to translate” aria-description=”Another description”</p>
<h4>How to translate the attributes</h4>
<ol>
<li>Once you’ve added the attributes, save the page or template</li>
<li>Go to WPML <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> String Translation</li>
<li>Filter by the “AccessiTrans ARIA Attributes” context</li>
<li>Translate the strings as you would with any other text in WPML</li>
</ol>
<h4>Best practices for optimal performance</h4>
<p>For the best experience and website performance, follow these recommendations:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Browse your site in the primary language only</strong> while generating strings for translation. This prevents registering duplicate strings.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Use the Force Refresh function</strong> when translations aren’t appearing as expected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Disable capture methods after initial setup</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Once you’ve captured all ARIA attributes for translation, we recommend disabling all capture methods</li>
<li>This improves site performance and prevents additional strings from being registered in WPML</li>
<li>Re-enable the capture methods temporarily when you make changes to your site that include new ARIA attributes</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Practical examples</h4>
<p><strong>For a menu button:</strong><br />
* Attribute: <code>aria-label|Open menu</code></p>
<p><strong>For a phone link:</strong><br />
* Attribute: <code>aria-label|Call customer service phone</code></p>
<p><strong>For an icon without text:</strong><br />
* Attribute: <code>aria-label|Send an email</code></p>
<p><strong>For a slider:</strong><br />
* Attribute: <code>aria-label|Image gallery</code><br />
* Attribute: <code>aria-description|Navigate through product images</code></p>
