Background of the issue:
I am using WPML with the automatic translation settings to translate some pages on my WordPress site. I am aiming for the translated pages to look identical to the original language pages, just with the translated text.
Symptoms:
The translated content is visible when editing a page in PageBuilder (Pro by Theme.co), but it does not appear on the front-end of the website.
Questions:
How can I make the translated pages appear on the front-end of my website?
Is there a specific setting or step I might be missing that prevents the translated content from displaying on the front-end?
See the attached screenshots: new translations show up on the back-end, but not on the front-end.
I've already ruled out caching- and plugin-conflicts.
I understand then issue you're having and will try my best to assist you in this matter.
From the screenshot, I can see that the English page is displaying the English content correctly (based on the 'Can be used on your event' heading and the paragraph following it). However, the "Specificaties" section does not show the translated content. Is this the section you're trying to translate?
If so, I checked and found that it is a Global Block created using Cornerstone. Please be informed that Global Blocks need to be translated separately. They will not appear in the translation editor when translating the page or post where the block is included. As a result, the default block will continue to appear on the translated page until the block is translated.
Hi,
your conclusion is incorrect. The headline 'Can be used on your event' is NOT the correct translated text, but text that has been translated earlier. Now the new translation, as you can see in the second screenshot, should be 'deployable at your event'. That text does show up in the translation editor, but not on the fronted.
I know the Global Block needs to be translated seperatly, and I will continue with that after we've got the regular headings and texts translated.
Please assist me futher on how the new translated English texts can be displayed on the frontend correctly.
In addition, after doing some more testing, it seems that creating a brand new translation is working without issues. The issue is focused on reviewing translations made by automatic translations. Any edits made during review, won't reflect on the frontend.
From the screenshot, I can see that the contents have been translated automatically. Since you've mentioned that the changes made during the review are not reflected on the frontend, I checked our translation management system and noticed that the translation has not been saved yet. It still seems to be still in the "in-progress" state.
Could you please do the following and check if that helps in solving the issue?
- Please locate the default page and check its translation status. Under the English language flag, there should be a gear icon. Click on it.
- When the editor loads, click on each translation and "Save and complete" the translation by clicking the green checkmark. Check the attached screenshot.
- Once done, make sure to 100% complete the translation and before exiting the editor, click on the "Complete translation" button at the bottom.
Once the translation is saved and completed, it should appear at the front end.
Please let me know how it goes. I'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.
thanks for getting back to me. Your suggestion confused me: in the translation settings, I've chosen the 'Publish now but review later' setting. That should publish the new translation infidelity, right?
I'm happy to try your suggestion, but it's completely the opposite of what that settings promises to do: publish without an action needed by the user. Please advice on this.
That option should definitely publish the translation and will be on the queue to be reviewed later. However, if you adjust the setting after the automatic translation, it will not affect the jobs that were translated automatically before the option was selected.
However, in our translation management, the status of the translation shows "in-progress." That's because, maybe the translator modified the translation but before saving, left the translation editor.
So, kindly open the editor, ensure that the translation is 100% complete, and click on the Complete translation button. This should change the status of the translation and show the translation correctly on the frontend.
Please give it a try and let me know how it goes. I'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.
Hi There,
I hope you're doing well. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.
As per your request, I have marked the response containing URLs as private.
Glad to hear that the suggestions helped in solving the issue on one page.
The translation that appears on the frontend is indeed different from what is entered in the translation editor. Please try the following steps and check if they help in solving the issue.
- Please go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting.
- Click on the following buttons:
-- Synchronize posts taxonomies [Select 'Pages' from the list before clicking the button]
-- Clear the cache in WPML
-- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
-- Synchronize local job IDs with ATE jobs
-- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
-- Assign translation status to duplicated content
-- Set language information
- Once done, open the default page in the WordPress editor.
- Make a small change in the title and update the page.
- Once done, update the English translation
- Clear the caches from your site and browser then check again.
Regarding the other issue with the translation review, it is possible that the page or post requiring review has already been published, which is why no reviewable items are showing. However, I'd like to inform you that to maintain clarity and organization, we are allowed to discuss one issue per thread. Since the issue you mentioned in your last message is different than the issue reported in this ticket, I kindly request you to create a new ticket mentioning as much as information you can. One of our supporters will take the ticket and assist you accordingly. I hope you can understand.
Please let me know the update regarding the issue with the discrepancy in translations between the frontend and backend. I'll be happy to help.
Best regards,
Prosenjit
