I am trying to retrieve in the "content composer" the categories of projects based on the active language. But i only get the categories off the main language, never on the other.

My code is:

Category All

    $categories = get_categories('taxonomy=jw_portfolio_categories');       

                    if(!empty($categories)){
                        foreach($categories as $cat){
                            ?option value="?php echo $cat-term_id; ?"?php echo $cat-name; ?/option?php
                        }
                    }   
    ?
                /select

Any idea on how to get all the categories or the ones of the active language in the WP backoffice?

You have to translate your post type and also has to create translated categories for other languages too.

UPDATED, this should work.

<?php
  $category_ID = get_cat_ID ("CategoryName");
  $get_correct_ID_lang = icl_object_id($category_ID, 'category', false)
  $categories = get_categories('child_of=' . $get_correct_ID_lang);
  foreach ($categories as $cat) {
?>
    <a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->cat_ID); ?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a>, 
<?php
  }
?>

I have a solution if you are using WPML for the multi-language support, i have used this code before. Modified after your taxonomy.

<?php

//Get categories from current language
//Uses WPML Multi-language

$terms = get_terms('jw_portfolio_categories','hide_empty=1' );

if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {

$term_links = "";

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

    if( $term->term_id == icl_object_id( $term->term_id,'jw_portfolio_categories', false, ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) ) { 
    ?>

        <option value="<?php echo $term->id; ?>"><?php echo $term->name; ?></option>

    <?php
    }
}

echo join( '', $term_links );

}

?>
