Translating Magefan blog content with Elovate requires the Magento 2 Blog Extra package from Magefan. If you have blog extra, Elovate needs to enable this feature within Elovate, please contact customer support. If it’s included in your plan, we’ll activate it for you.
This is because advanced multi-language support — including the ability to manage blog posts, categories, tags, and authors at the store view level — is only available in the Blog Extra edition.
Magefan introduced this feature as part of a recent update. You can find more details in their changelog: magefan.com/magento2-blog-extension/change-log
Elovate now supports seamless translation of Magefan blog content, including:
Blog Posts
Blog Categories
Authors
Tags
These elements are accessible under the Storedata section in the Elovate interface.
