Problem: You are trying to activate the WPML String Translation plugin for Arabic on your website, but after activation, your website doesn't load and displays a critical error. Solution: We recommend taking the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Ensure you take a full backup of your website and database before proceeding. 2. It is highly advised to try these steps on a staging or development site first to avoid compromising your live website. 3. Make sure all plugins (including third-party ones) and your theme are up to date. 4. Try activating the WPML String Translation plugin. 5. If the problem persists, deactivate all plugins except WPML and switch to a standard WordPress theme like 2021 or 2024, then try activating the plugin again. 6. Gradually reactivate other plugins one by one to identify if any specific plugin is causing the conflict.
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
