Problem: The client is developing a site using WPML for translations and encountered an issue where WPML indicated a need for 150,000 credits to translate a few pages. Additionally, the homepage showed as translated, but when attempting to edit, it requested translation again, and the review process in WPML > Translations was unresponsive. Solution: We recommended switching from the "Translate everything automatically" option to the "Translate what you choose" option in WPML > Settings to gain better control over what content is sent for translation. This change helps manage the translation workload and potentially reduce the number of credits required. For the issue with the homepage and the unresponsive review process, we suggested checking the Advanced Translation Editor > Error Log under WPML > Support for any errors. If errors are present, sharing them via a service like pastebin.com could help us diagnose the issue further. Additionally, due to our support policy of handling one problem per ticket, the homepage issue was moved to a separate ticket for focused resolution.

Problem: You have translations completed for your site, but some products and pages do not display the translation even though the status indicates they are translated. Specifically, the language dropdown does not display the languages even though the page is translated. Solution: First, ensure that the translated products are published and not in draft status. You can do this by navigating to Products -> All Products, then switch the language from the top admin bar to ensure that the translated products are published.
