We’re continuing to work on WPML 4.6, but in the meantime, we wanted to help clients experiencing issues with the Advanced Translation Editor by releasing some important fixes as soon as possible. This update also includes completely new and improved Translation Queue and Translation Jobs tables.
We decided to release this update to fix various issues that could appear when using the Advanced Translation Editor. WPML 4.5.9 includes fixes to the following issues:
Translations get stuck and the troubleshooting logs state, “Started attempt to download XLIFF file. The process did not finish,” and, “The uploaded XLIFF file doesn’t belong to this system.”
New translation jobs are created whenever you open a completed translation job in the Advanced Translation Editor
Translation jobs open in the WordPress native editor when they should open in the Advanced Translation Editor
Translation jobs are created with invalid job ID
Translation jobs are stuck in the Pending Review status
When using Translate Everything with a lot of attachments, the Translation Management Dashboard gets stuck on Calculating…
You get an error message, WPML didn’t manage to translate, when the user doesn’t have a valid username and email in their profile (however, we are still working on a similar issue when the user is a site admin)
After site migration or changing the site URL, the site action notice doesn’t appear.
See our full changelog for all the bug fixes included in this release.
Improved Translation Queue and Translation Jobs Tables
With this release, you’ll notice better filtering and more details in the Translation Queue and Jobs tables.
Translations Queue
You can access the Translation Queue by going to WPML → Translations. This shows content that is available to your user for translation or review.

Finally, you will find that the Translation Jobs table features the same new look and features. This table shows all jobs, both completed and in progress. Translation Managers and site admins can access it by going to WPML → Translation Management and clicking the Translation Jobs tab.

Hi there, I need to know if you fixed the issue about Stripe plugin saving payment methods. Thanks!
Hi Giulio – I’m not sure I know what you’re referring to. If it’s an issue with the Stripe plugin, perhaps it’s better to reach out to them? WPML doesn’t save any payment information.
WPML support answered me by chat about this. To solve it they proposed to roll back to a previous version of WPML waiting for a fix. So now seeing your update I was hoping for an official fix released. You can easily find a thread opened by ticket from another user typing “Unable to save country availability in stripe plugin by woocommerce”. Please let me know!
Thank you for the clarification, Giulio. This is an issue that will be handled by a future release of our WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) glue plugin. Developers are aware of the issue, but I can’t make any promises about when it will be fixed.
Any plans on updating the Oxygen integration? Oxygen builder 3.9 worked with no problems but the v4 has issues.
Thanks
Hi Stratos – Thanks for your comment. We have reached out to their team, but unfortunately Oxygen is still considered incompatible with WPML. We recommend reaching out to the Oxygen team to request that they prioritize compatibility with WPML. You can also upvote and comment on the issue on their support page: https://github.com/soflyy/oxygen-bugs-and-features/issues/938
Any plans to integrate WPML with Bricks Builder ?
Hi Yannis – Since this page builder is still so new, it doesn’t seem like we have a lot of clients asking for compatibility. I recommend referring the Bricks Builder authors to join our Go Global program so they can confirm compatibility with us.
The fix about “WPML didn’t manage to translate” will help a lot, thank you
Great! Glad to hear this release includes a solution to an issue you’re having.
Where can we read some informations about WPML 4.6 ?
