Problem: You are trying to improve translations on your website using the WPML plugin, but find the current translations unsatisfactory and need to re-translate about 40% of the content. You are also unsure how to search for words in the WPML translator plugin and how to re-translate words. Solution: 1) To update translations, first edit the page in the default language. Then, click the Pencil icon to open the translation editor where you can update the translation. 2) If you encounter untranslated content, it might be due to an Elementor widget that hasn't been registered for translation. We recommend checking our guide on registering custom Elementor widgets for translation to resolve this issue.

Problem: You are experiencing an issue with the WPML plugin where the language settings do not remain consistent when navigating through your site. Specifically, the language reverts to English when navigating away from and then returning to the home screen. Solution: We recommend checking the settings for the language switcher and ensuring that the URL modifications are correctly configured to maintain language consistency across different pages.

Problem: The client is trying to translate their website from English to German and Portuguese using WPML, but not all content is being translated despite the automatic translation configuration. Specific issues include untranslated sliders and city names in taxonomies. Solution: 1) For content that is not automatically translated, such as certain strings or widgets from themes not registered for translation, we recommend manually searching for these strings in the WPML String Translation module and sending them for translation. 2) For the untranslated slider, it was identified as a widget from the theme that was not registered for translation. We added a custom XML configuration to WPML settings to handle this:
3) For city names not translated in taxonomies, navigate to WPML > Taxonomy Translation and manually translate these entries.
