Problem: The client was unable to save certain strings in the string translation. Solution: We recommended that the client first install the multilingual-tools plugin from https://github.com/OnTheGoSystems/multilingual-tools. After installation, we advised following the steps outlined in our documentation for registering custom Elementor widgets for translation. The client can find the guide here: Getting Started and Using WPML Config Generator for Elementor. We also offered to check the XML generated by the WPML Config Generator if the problem persisted.

Problem: The client has a multilingual website in English and German. The English dashboard is working, but the German dashboard shows a critical error. Additionally, certain string translations are not working, and the dashboard displays an error stating that the WPML plugin cannot connect to wpml.org. Solution: We identified a fatal error in the 'GoDaddyPaymentsGateway.php' script within the 'Godaddy' plugin, which is causing issues with WPML and String Translation. To resolve this: 1. Access the site's file system via FTP or cPanel. 2. Navigate to '/wp-content/mu-plugins/vendor'. 3. Find the 'Godaddy' plugin folder and deactivate it by renaming the folder, adding '.dis' at the end of the folder name. 4. Reactivate WPML and check if the issue persists. Alternatively, the client can contact their Godaddy hosting provider to report the error for further assistance.
