I’ve scoured the WPML docs several times… usually when this issue pops up again. I can not find anywhere in there docs where they document how to enable support for data stored in custom WordPress tables which contain user generated content. The closest I could find was how to accomplish it for text widgets which does not seems to cover this use case.

Unfortunately when there users ask this question of them they seem to only get the bog standard answer to have the dev join their program :/

Add shortcode support to the title field whole doable will not be of much actual use. The database field which saves this sata is limited to only 255 characters (roughly, it is actually 255 bytes, charact can be more than a byte).

To add shortcode support, I think, this would work…

Edit the class.entry-output.php file. Change lines 896 and 897 from this:

$org  = $atts['show_org'] ? $this->getOrganization() : '';
$dept = $atts['show_dept'] ? $this->getDepartment() : '';

to this:

$org  = $atts['show_org'] ? do_shortcode( $this->getOrganization() ) : '';
$dept = $atts['show_dept'] ? do_shortcode( $this->getDepartment() ) : '';

This is completely untested…
