add support for string translations

[contactashish13]

Description:

Allow users to translate their dynamic data.

I’d like to translate everything in the graph: titles, axes and series names.

@rodica-andronache do you think this can be added easily (without a code change) like we did in WPPR?

[rodica-andronache]

@contactashish13 if you mean with the wpml-config file, I'm not sure. It's a possibility but it will need to be tested

@DanyCaissy please add this to the correct queue/version. It would also be good if you can do some research on polylang vs wpml and which we should support. Neither of them is easy.

There is one user that asked about the WPML compatibility of our Plugin and after doing a bit of research I noticed that we don't appear on their list of compatible plugins. then I found this old enhacement that hasn't been solved yet so I posted here.

@girishpanchal30 @vytisbulkevicius do you think it would be a good idea to work with WPML and make our plugin translatable? I haven't seen many users requesting it and I think it is quite a hard implementation but wanted to hear your opinion anyway.

Also here is a quite recent ticket on the WPML support forum talking about the compatibility.

Here is the user report.

Thank you and I'm eager to hear your opinion!

Hey @Skystream96,
If we do the same thing as WPML does for pages and posts, I believe we can add WPML support.

Here is my opinion:
Users may quickly set up charts for different languages if we add a new action to the chart list.

Hey @girishpanchal30 ,

That sounds good but would this implementation mean that they will have another chart for that particular language, so let's say I have 3 languages on my website, this would mean I would have the same chart 3 times (once for every language) right?

Wouldn't this affect performance quite drastically?

@vytisbulkevicius what do you think about this?

Yes

Yes, the above method affect database space.

[vytisbulkevicius]

This sounds good to me, and the approach suggested by @girishpanchal30 seems to be efficient. I don't think the space of the database increases that much here to make an impact on the speed of website, right?
I mean the same way you translate every post/page, and it doesn't hurt that much, so we should be good.

I also heard about this request a few times so I think we can proceed with this one.

P.S This request https://wpml.org/forums/topic/visualizer-plugin-compatibility/ is not related, it was a bug on our end and was fixed here - https://github.com/Codeinwp/visualizer-pro/issues/333

Yes, you are right it will not affect website performance.
