Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and want to configure WPML so that any changes I make in the original English text automatically appear in the translated French text as the original until I translate it.
Symptoms:
The translated text does not update automatically with changes made in the original language.
Questions:
How do I configure WPML to automatically update translated texts with changes made in the original language?
Languages: English (English )French (Français )Arabic (العربية )
Timezone: Pacific/Easter (GMT-06:00)
Hello,
Thank you for contacting WPML support team,
You can only apply this configuration to a whole post/page.
When you go to WPML > Settings and scroll to the Post Types Translation section.
Set the options as follows:
Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language
So when a user changes the language to french on an untranslated post, they will see the default language content.
You cannot apply this to specific elements or blocks of a page, unless these are templates or a standalone section (Listed under Post Types Translation section)
