Problem: The client was unable to find some strings for translation on their website using WPML. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with undetectable strings for translation in WPML, we recommend the following steps: 1. Identify the exact strings that are not appearing in the WPML string translation interface. It's helpful to know where these strings are displayed on your site. 2. Determine the source of these strings, whether they come from a specific plugin or theme. This approach helps in pinpointing the issue more effectively and facilitates a targeted solution.

Problem: You are trying to translate images on your site using WPML, but some images are not being translated using media translation. This issue is related to a compatibility problem between the Real Homes theme, Easy Real Estate plugin, and WPML Media Translation. Solution: 1. Continue using WPML Media Translation to upload media for second languages. For Listings, apply the following workaround: - Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and search for the field "REAL_HOMES_property_images". - Unlock the field and set its translation preference to "Don't translate". This allows you to manually select images on the translated post. 2. If displaying different images in different languages, upload alternative media files for the second languages at WPML > Media Translation. 3. If using the same image in both languages, check settings at WPML > Settings > Media Translation for options on duplicating media and making metadata from images available in the WPML Translation Editor. 4. Visit this link and then add the custom XML configuration to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration to handle the translation of property images: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/some-images-are-not-being-translated-using-media-translation/?paged=2#post-17452664 After adding this, update the original property and then update its translation.

Problem: You are trying to translate a table on your website using WPML, but the table is not being translated, and the home page is displaying incorrect content. Solution: If you duplicated the home page before translating it, this might be causing the issue. We recommend that you edit the Turkish home page using the WordPress editor. Look for a button that says "Translate Independently". If you see this button, please click it and then update the Turkish home page. After updating, re-translate the page to see if the issue is resolved.

Problem: You are receiving spam emails on email addresses linked to websites after using WPML. You suspect that WPML might be causing this issue. Solution: We suggest that the presence of your email address on the website's pages might be the reason for receiving spam emails, rather than the use of WPML itself. Since WPML only makes your site available in multiple languages, it does not influence the security of email addresses displayed on your site. To reduce spam, consider removing your email address from the website or replacing it with a contact form. This way, your email remains hidden from public view, reducing the likelihood of receiving spam. If you still suspect WPML is causing the issue, try disabling WPML temporarily to see if the spam emails stop. This can help determine whether WPML is related to the problem.

Problem: The client needs to translate the consent banner from the GetTerms plugin into Arabic but is unable to find where to add or update the text for translation using WPML. Solution: We checked the GetTerms plugin settings and found no fields to add or update text directly on the cookie popup. The text for the banner seems to be managed externally, as indicated by the redirection to an external site when attempting to update the banner. Since WPML can only translate content stored in the current site's database, it's not possible to translate text managed externally through WPML. We recommend contacting the GetTerms plugin author to inquire if they have a method to display translated content based on the current language setting.

Problem: We are trying to duplicate a page along with its translations using WPML. Solution: You can duplicate pages from one language to another, but it doesn't allow duplicating pages with translations. You might want to try a plugin like Yoast Duplicate Post: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/ to see if it helps.
Please note, we haven't tested if this plugin will also copy translations, but you can give it a try.
