Problem: The client inquired about the possibility of adding AI translators, such as the ChatGPT API, to the WPML translation widget. Solution: We informed the client that currently, there is no integration between ChatGPT/AI translation services and WPML. We do have plans for potential integration in the future, but we cannot provide an estimated time of arrival as it is still in the feature request stage. We have taken note of the client's interest and have added their vote to the feature request.

Problem: The client is developing a site with WPML and needs to set Italian as the default language after initially creating content in English. They are concerned about potential issues with changing the default language in WPML and how to configure the site so that visitors who enter
https://mysite.com
are redirected to the Italian version of the site. Solution: We recommend setting Italian as the default language from the start and translating the theme from there. Theme strings will still be identified as English, but this will not affect the content. If the client has not yet created content, this is the best approach to avoid issues later on. .

Problem: The client is concerned about the convoluted HTML structure generated by WPML, specifically the excessive classes within the language switcher elements, and is seeking a simpler structure.
Solution: We acknowledge the client's concern and explain that the current structure is maintained for backward compatibility. However, we are open to considering this as a feature request and will register it in our system for potential review and implementation in the future. In the meantime, we recommend creating a custom language switcher by following the instructions in our documentation: Custom Language Switcher.

Problem: The client wants to know if it's possible to bypass the frontend step when sending a login to a translator for review, allowing direct access to the advanced editor from the backend to save time. Solution: We currently do not have a feature that allows direct access to the advanced editor from the backend without going through the frontend. We have taken note of this request and suggested it as a feature request.
