While in the midst of translating a page, after completing the translation, the page keeps returning to 73% complete even when all translations have been done.

I have to get this done ASAP! Their event is tomorrow and my client needs this done by this afternoon.

I'm going to proceed to restart the translation. But please let me know if there's something I should be aware of in the meantime.

I deleted the translation job on that page and started over again. Still getting issues.

Hello,

It seems the minimum server requirements are not met:
https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/

Could you please increase the WordPress memory limit (WP Memory Limit) to at least 256 MB? WPML requires at least 128 MB.

Your current values ​​are:
PHP Memory Limit 256 MB
WP Memory Limit 40 MB

To do this, you need to connect to your website's server and open the wp-config.php file in a text editor. The file is located in the WordPress root directory.

Add this code to the wp-config.php file to increase WordPress's memory:

define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add this just before this comment:

// That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

If you need my assistance with this adjustment, please let me know.

The current values ​​can be viewed under WPML > Support > WordPress.

These settings can be restricted directly by your hosting provider. Therefore, I recommend contacting them and asking them to change them directly if the changes are not applied automatically.

Further, please contact your hosting support team and ask them to change the value for MaxInputVars to at least 3000 or even a higher value, if possible. MaxInputVars is a PHP setting on the server, and it might be that the default value of 1000 is not sufficient to translate your content.

Let me know if further assistance will be needed.

Best regards
Andreas

I ended up by-passing the translating editor and did the translation in WP page directly.

I have updated the MaxInputVars for now and will see if this helps.

Thank you!

I suspect that changing the value for MaxInputVars should solve the issue on your site, and you will be able to use the WPML Translation Editor.

If this will not be the case, then please let me know.

Sidenote:
If you create the translation inside the WordPress Editor, note that you will need to change the translation method inside the WordPress Editor's sidebar while editing the original content.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

If you do not change the translation method, the WPML Translation Editor will open the next time you translate the content, and it will overwrite the changes that you made in the WordPress Editor.
