Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there, Christian. Usually, the 500 errors are related to the server configuration or limitations. You can check our documentation to see if you meet all the WPML minimum requirements here: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ Also, please take a look here: https://wpml.org/faq/500-error Also, make sure you are running the latest WordPress and WPML versions, and that your other plugins and themes are updated to the latest version, too (for example there's a new version of WPML available - go to Plugins > Add new > Commercial > click "check for updates" button and you will see the available WPML updates in case they don't already show in your WordPress backend. There might be a limitation that is reached when uploading the zip file so a workaround would be to transfer the whole plugin folder that contains the plugin files: 1. via FTP (as explained here: hidden link - check the "To add a plugin to your WordPress website via FTP" section). 2. you can also use a "File Manager" application (if your hosting provider has that) which would allow you to upload the zip file inside the "Plugins" folder > then extract it with the help of this application. This should be faster than transferring all the files via FTP/SFTP. Both of these options would take the stress off the server resources and would allow you to add all the plugin files and then you could simply go to your WordPress backend > Plugins > and activate the plugin. I hope that you will find this information helpful. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei
