Problem: You are experiencing issues with the language switcher on your website. It works when logged into WordPress but fails in a fresh browser session. Additionally, the English homepage displays an error when not logged in. Solution: We recommend checking if the translated version of your homepage is set to 'Draft' status. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Go to Pages → All Pages. 2. Switch to the secondary language. 3. Edit the translated homepage using the native WordPress editor. 4. If the page is not published, go ahead and publish it. If you're still facing issues after these steps, the solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Problem: The client is trying to connect the Google Product feed for Google Merchant Center with multiple language domains managed through WPML. The integration app provided by WooCommerce does not support multi-language/multi-domain configurations, and Google Merchant Center does not accept the translated products due to the different domains they are posted on. Solution: We recommend checking with the plugin provider or Google about configuring the product feed for multiple domains. You might need to register different accounts for each domain or use 2 property IDs as used in Google Tag Manager and Analytics for multi-domain setups. An alternative solution is to use the CTX Feed plugin, which can help generate different product feeds per language and domain. Additionally, creating individual feeds for each language and domain might be necessary, as WPML does not automatically handle this in a multi-domain per language setup.

Problem: The client reported issues with translations on their checkout page. Specifically, 'free shipping' and 'order notes' were not displaying in English, despite correct translations being set in the backend. Solution: We recommended the client to navigate to WPML-> String Translation and enable the
Look for strings while pages are rendered
option. After enabling this, they should visit the English checkout page to verify if the translations appear correctly.

Problem: The client is setting up a multi-domain and URL language switch for their site, with different domains and language folders for each language. Solution: We explained that it is not possible to mix different language formats; the client must choose either a domain per language for all languages or a directory for language mode. However, using subdomains like fr.houseofcufflinks.eu and de.houseofcufflinks.eu is feasible under the separate domain option. For detailed guidance on setting up different domains per language, we recommend visiting this documentation.
