Problem: The client was experiencing issues with the language switcher on their website, where clicking on the language switcher did not navigate to the correct translated product category pages but redirected to the main category page instead. Solution: We discovered that the issue was due to the use of duplicate slugs for the Shop page, Product base, and Product category base. To resolve this, we made the following changes: - Changed the Shop page slug to 'shop'. - Changed the Product category base to 'product-category'. - Set the Product base to '/catalogue/%product_cat%/'. After these adjustments, the language switcher correctly reflected the translated URLs. We also translated these changes into French and German. It is crucial to use unique slugs to avoid similar issues. Additionally, if slugs are changed, it is necessary to resave permalinks and flush all caches.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where deleting a line from a repeater in one language causes content to disappear in other languages, even though the translation method is set to Manual, we have a solution for you. Solution: First, ensure that all WPML plugins and add-ons, including the ACFML plugin, are up to date. The ACFML plugin now allows you to select different translation modes, which can prevent synchronization issues. Specifically, you should select the 'Different Fields Across Languages' option. For detailed instructions on how to update the plugins and change the translation method, please follow these steps:
Go to Dashboard -> Updates in your wp-admin. Click on the 'Check again' button, select all WPML and ACF plugins, and click 'Update Plugins'.
Alternatively, go to Plugins -> Add New, click on the 'Commercial' tab, then 'Check for updates' in the WPML section, select all plugins with a red notification, and click 'Download'.
After updating the plugins and changing the translation method to 'Different Fields Across Languages', check if the issue is resolved.
