Problem: You are trying to delete language content from the database but are encountering issues where the content does not delete from the front end and the process gets stuck. Solution: First, try to deactivate the language in WPML. A dialog should appear under WPML > Languages > Language Setup which allows you to remove old translations. If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to remove the contents manually from the backend. For more detailed guidance, please read our documentation on deleting languages and plugin data.

Problem: You are trying to translate strings on your site using WPML, but the translations only work when 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' is enabled. This issue is likely due to recent changes in how WordPress handles language files, which affects themes and plugins. Solution: 1. This problem is not directly caused by WPML but by changes in WordPress. A solution might be to downgrade your WordPress to the previous version. Follow these instructions to downgrade: Downgrade WordPress. 2. If downgrading does not resolve the issue, WPML has released a temporary fix for this problem. Please check the errata here: WPML String Translation fix.
