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?

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)

Best,

Hello,

That's because you do have a translation published already for those pages,

That option only works if there is no translation of the page exist, this only works for an entire page that isn't translated before,

To test it :

1- Create a new test hotel/room
2- Publish
3- Open the room in frontend and switch to french > it should show you the french pahe in English

Once that test worked, you can simply delete the translation completely of the concerned post (delete from trash too),

The topic ‘[Closed] Show untranslated text’ is closed to new replies.
