Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the credit card form on the checkout page does not appear correctly in the default language, although it appears fine in the sublanguage. The client questioned if WPML might be conflicting with any plugins. Solution: We have investigated the issue and determined that it is not related to WPML. It seems to be linked to the server environment or the payment methods used. We recommend the following steps to diagnose the issue further: 1. Temporarily deactivate all WPML plugins. 2. Ensure that your WordPress site language is set to English. 3. Visit the checkout page (/checkout/). 4. Check if the credit card form issue persists. If the form appears correctly with WPML plugins disabled, it should also work correctly once you reactivate WPML.

Problem: The client is experiencing slow backend performance with WPML due to the absence of caching plugins and a high number of backend POST requests. Solution: 1. We recommend providing WPML support debug information from your site. To do this, log in to your site, navigate to WPML → Support, click on the 'debug information' link at the bottom of the page, copy the entire content of the text box, and paste it into our support forum. More details can be found here: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/. 2. Install the Query Monitor plugin to help identify the source of the slow performance. Share the results with us under three conditions: using your website as is, with WPML disabled, and with all other plugins disabled except for WPML. Ensure you back up your site or test on a staging site before making these changes. 3. Review our documentation on boosting the performance of your multilingual WordPress site here: https://wpml.org/tutorials/2022/03/boosting-the-performance-of-your-multilingual-wordpress-site/. 4. Consider using caching plugins, as they are crucial for sites with a large number of languages.

Problem: The client reported that the sentence of a custom field did not translate into secondary languages.

Edit the original product where the custom field belongs. 3. Make a minor change to the product description, such as adding an extra letter, and update the product. 4. Go to the WPML Advanced Translation Editor; the field will appear there. 5. Translate it and complete the translation. Additionally, ensure that the original system values are copied to the translation and not translated as highlighted in the provided screenshot.
