While you are in the website's backend area, you will need to switch to the language that you want to translate FROM - in the top bar area you should see a language switcher while you are in the backend.
The language that you switch TO will be the language that you translate FROM.
So you will need to first switch to UKRAINE and then translate from that into other languages (like Russian).
I hope that you will find that information helpful.
I am translating a website from Russian to Ukrainian. Everything goes well.
But some of the pages were in Ukrainian and I need to translate them into Russian, but they are detected by the plugin as Russian. How to solve this problem?
1. Please let me know the URL and the Page Title for each of the pages that were created in Ukrainian initially and where WPML sees them as Russian
2. I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
- Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.
