Translation with Falang works partially

I use wpdm (currently the free version) and Falang as translation plug-in. When I maintain the german and english texts for a download and switch languages, the title is translated, but the description text is not.

I have no idea why. In falang settings I could select the options post_title, post_name, post_content, post_excerpt for translation.
For title it’s working. Also the complete table with file-information, but the desciption text is not translated.

Could you please help me out?

My theory:

Falang stores translations in the table wp_falang_content.
Please check whether WPDM()->packageData->post_content is being retrieved directly from the wp_posts table instead of using get_post().

When WP Download Manager bypasses WordPress core functions (get_post() or the_content filter), multilingual plugins like Falang, WPML, or Polylang cannot intercept and provide the translated version.

Adding a hook or filter before rendering the description (for example apply_filters(‘the_content’, $post_content)) would solve this issue and ensure translation plugins can modify the output properly.
