Not WPML issue

Problem:
You are trying to create a new menu item in a multilingual menu using WPML and synchronize it across different languages. However, you notice that the wording of the menu items in the English and Spanish versions differs from what appears on the live site, unlike in the main language.
Solution:
First, ensure that the default language settings are correctly configured, as WPML will display the navigation labels based on the default language of your site. When using the WP Menus Sync function, WPML either adds newly translated menu items or indicates that these items have not yet been translated, hence lacking a navigation label. For existing translated menu items with a navigation label, WPML will continue to use the page's title as the navigation label. After synchronizing, you can manually add custom navigation labels for the translated menu items. This behavior is expected and is not indicative of an error.

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with the hover effect not working as expected for a language menu in Elementor. Despite setting the standard color to black and the hover and active color to red, the hover effect was not applying correctly.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Add the necessary CSS in WPML -> Languages -> Language Switcher Options -> Additional CSS. The specific CSS to use is:

header ul li.wpml-ls-current-language a span.wpml-ls-display, header ul li a span:hover{<br />  color: #e40028;<br />}

2. Ensure to create a full site backup before making changes and update the WPML plugins to the latest version.
3. Increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB by adding the following line to wp-config.php:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

Place it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.

Problem:
After migrating a site, the client encountered an issue where WPML could not run normally due to an AJAX Error and a server configuration problem. Additionally, there was an inability to edit or see text in the editor, even though the AJAX Error was resolved after re-migrating.
Solution:
We recommended checking with the hosting provider regarding the AJAX Error as it is typically related to server issues. For the memory limit issue, which could also affect WPML's functionality, we advised increasing the WordPress memory limit. This can be done by adding the following lines in the

wp-config.php

file, right before the '/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */' line:

define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

After updating, the client should verify the new memory limit under WPML > Support > WordPress > Memory limit.

Problème :
Le client a rencontré un problème de crash du site après l'installation du plugin WPML, qui semble entrer en conflit avec le plugin trx_addons utilisé par le thème Impacto Patronus. Le message d'erreur indiquait que WPML manquait certains enregistrements dans les tables de langues et mentionnait une classe manquante 'WPML_Elementor_Module_With_Items'.

Solution :
Nous avons identifié que le problème était causé par le plugin trx_addons, qui nécessitait une classe spécifique non trouvée. Nous avons recommandé au client de vérifier si le problème persistait après la désactivation de ce plugin ou en changeant de thème. Nous avons également vérifié que le thème et le plugin étaient à jour. Après avoir désactivé les addons WPML non nécessaires (comme GraphQL, ElasticPress, etc.), le site fonctionnait sans afficher d'erreurs. Nous avons conclu que le problème d'importation n'était pas lié à WPML mais spécifique au thème du client et recommandé de contacter le support du thème pour plus d'assistance.

Il est possible que cette solution ne soit plus pertinente en raison de mises à jour ultérieures ou qu'elle ne s'applique pas à votre cas. Nous vous recommandons de vérifier les problèmes connus et de vous assurer que vous avez installé les dernières versions des thèmes et plugins. Si le problème persiste, n'hésitez pas à ouvrir un nouveau ticket de support.

Problem:

The client is using WPML on their site and inquires whether they can switch between automatic and manual translation methods after the initial setup. They also ask if it's possible to get an estimate of the credits needed for automatic translation before starting, and how to choose among different translation engines like Google, Deepl, and WPML AI with ChatGPT.

Solution:

If you're experiencing similar questions, we recommend the following steps:

1. You can change your translation method at any time in WPML > Settings.
2. To estimate the credits needed for automatic translation, navigate to WPML > Translation Management, get a word count, and then use our simulator to calculate the costs. You can find the simulator here: Automatic Translation Pricing.
3. For choosing a specific translation engine, please refer to our detailed guide here: How to Change Automatic Translation Engines.
