Problem: The client was experiencing issues with their website's translation flags. Specifically, the French translation flag was not appearing, and the Spanish translation flag was incorrectly pointing to a backup page instead of the correct translation page. Additionally, the correct Spanish page was redirecting to an unwanted URL. Solution: We advised the client to first ensure that the incorrect Spanish page was not set as a translation of another page. This could be done by editing the page in the WordPress backend, selecting the 'Edit' option, and then disconnecting the page from any English page translations. After disconnecting, the client could set the correct Spanish translation link by following the steps in our documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/. For the issue of the page redirecting to an unwanted URL, it was discovered that there were pages in the 'Trash' that were using the desired URL. Removing these pages from the trash resolved the issue.

Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where your translation from English to French is stuck at 95% in the WPML backend and the French version of your webpage is not updating, it might be due to some content not appearing in the translation editor. Solution: We recommend switching to the previous version of the translation editor to check for any untranslated content. Here are the steps to follow: - Open the translation editor. - In the top right corner, click on the gear icon. - Enable the "Use Previous Translation Editor" option. After switching, please complete any untranslated content you find and save the changes. This should allow the French version to display correctly once the translation is fully completed.
