When they say create an XML file, I assume this is what they are talking about from their documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/
It sounds like you would need to create this XML file… I can’t create an XML file containing string I do not exist in my code. But I do not think this is a solution based on their docs.
You want to translate the actual contents of the job title field, correct? Only you have those strings because they exists only in your database. The field label itself can already be translated, if that is what you are asking about, as the plugin is completely localization ready. It has been for a long time now and is.
Now if we are talking about the field content, it does not appear that an XML file is the solution, that seems to be only required for the static strings in the plugin.
I’m unable to find any documentation which covers how to make field contents translatable for content which exists in custom tables. Everything seems to focus on post/page/widget/taxonomy content. If there was some type of filter or function I could apply to the string before being displayed, I would more than happily apply it but I simply can not find any documentation which covers exactly what you are asking to be done.
