Problem:
You are experiencing issues with WPML where some translated content does not apply correctly on the frontend. Specifically, the translated product title does not update and shows the original language title instead. Additionally, translated text rows that were previously completed and saved later become empty again.
Solution:
For the issue of the product title not updating:
1. Ensure you have a backup of your site for safety.
2. Navigate to WPML >> Support > Troubleshooting page and press the following buttons:
- Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
3. If the problem persists:
a. Open the default language product in Edit mode.
b. Make a minor change, such as adding a space or + sign in your product title.
c. Update the product.
d. Remove the change made in step 3b.
e. Update the product again.
f. Open the translated page in WPML Translation Editor, ensure the translation is 100% complete, and press the complete translation button.
4. Clear all types of site/server/CDN cache.

Problem:
The client installed WPML Media Translation and encountered an issue where a button linked to a PDF in the English version of their site does not automatically update to link to the translated PDF when switching languages. The client inquired whether this behavior is expected or if there is a setting that allows the button to dynamically link to the translated PDF.
Solution:
We explained that WPML does not automatically replace media file links within buttons or content, as these links are treated as static content. To resolve this, the client needs to manually update the link in the translated button version to ensure it points to the correct PDF for that language. This can be done if the button is added through the WordPress block editor or a page builder by editing the translated version and updating the link accordingly. Additionally, we suggested checking the how to translate links documentation and specifically the Translate link targets option to see if it might offer a solution, although it may not support PDF links directly.
