Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the modified translation of a page is not displayed on their website, even after manual updates. Solution: 1. We recommend updating the WPML plugin and its add-ons to the latest version, currently 4.7.2, to ensure all recent fixes and improvements are applied. You can find the latest versions and update instructions at http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/. 2. After updating, slightly modify the original page, save it, and then use the WPML translation editor to update the translation. 3. Ensure that the WordPress memory limit is sufficient, as it might affect the functionality. We recommend setting it to at least 256M. You can add the following code to your wp-config.php file:
Place this code above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */. 4. Check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support to confirm it's correctly set.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues where the WPML plugin cannot connect to wpml.org for updates, and there are problems with translated product category links and untranslated menu items. Solution: For the connection issue, it might be a false-positive caused by server caching. We recommend going to Plugins > Add New > Commercial, then clicking the "check for updates" button. If WPML still shows as registered after the page refreshes, the issue is likely just a false positive. For the issues regarding translated links and menu translations, due to our support policy of handling one issue per ticket, please open a new support ticket for each separate issue.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where product categories on their multilingual site automatically point to English instead of the translated languages, specifically under the 'Magasin' menu in the French version of the site. Solution: We recommended that the client should manually update the URLs for the menu items under the 'Magasin' menu. These menu items are Custom Link menu items, and their URLs need to be adjusted in each language version of the menu. For detailed guidance on how to manually create and translate menus, we advised following the documentation at Translating Menus.

Problem: If you're noticing that some translated pages are appearing on Google even though they haven't been published, and these pages display incorrect logos and theme colors, this might be due to a settings conflict or a compatibility issue. For instance, if your site's translated product page shows a different logo or theme colors compared to the original English page. Solution: First, ensure that you have not inadvertently published the product translations. Check your Translation Preference settings for the Product Post Type and Product Categories Taxonomy. You should have the 'Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language' option selected. This setting allows the default language products to be listed in the secondary language on the frontend without translation or content duplication. Next, verify that your Elementor templates for the Header, Footer, and Single Product are translated into the secondary language. You can do this by accessing the following links in your admin area:
