Problem:
After importing products and categories (wpallimport) in different languages, if I switch language from Finnish to English then categories (in category widget) from other language stay (among English categories) and those links (to Finnish categories) are broken. How to fix this?
Solution:
WPML → Settings → Taxonomies Translation → Product categories (product_cat) → only show translated items.
Problem:
I'm trying to send strings to automatic translation from WPML > String Translation but there is a notice message:
"Selected strings are not in the site's default language and will not be translated automatically if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode. Instead, after sending them for translation here, you need to go to the WPML -> Translations page and translate them manually". Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support sending strings to automatic translation if the source language of strings is not in the site's default language. You can follow the documentation to change the language of strings and send them to automatic translation. Relevant Documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/
Problem:
Hello, I am using the Enfold theme updated to the latest version. When I try to create a gallery with the advanced layout editor, I select the photos to insert. However, when I save the page, I see different images compared to the ones I have chosen. I noticed that this has been happening since we installed WPML Media Translation. How can I resolve this? Thank you.
Problem:
"An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 3937"
There was a conflict between WPML and the latest version of Google Site Kit (1.106)
Solution:
On the moment, the workaround was to downgrade to Google Site Kit 1.105, but a few days after we released WPML 4.6.5 which solved the issue. Please update WPML.

Problem:
I'm trying to change some texts in the footer but after trying to change it the language stays in one lnaguage. So I tried deleting the footer template and duplicating and translating it again and that seemed to work at first but now only the new template is showing.
Solution:
The string Translation plugin was missing from the site. In order to translate the Elementor template and pages and make the translation work, the String Translation plugin is needed.
Problem: You are unable to display the FSE template for one specific taxonomy term in the secondary language on your site, while other terms display their templates correctly. Solution: We corrected a mistake in the function we initially shared with you. Here is the updated function that you should use:
Please replace the previous code with this corrected version. Additionally, we noticed that the term-specific template might not be added correctly from the backend. Could you please inform us about the tools or methods you are using to add the term template?
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Solution:
If your selected strings' default language is different than site's default language, you'll see a message at end of strings table:
Selected strings are not in the site's default language and will not be translated automatically if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode. Instead, after sending them for translation here, you need to go to the WPML -> Translations page and translate them manually.
Either you'll have to translate these manually, or, you'll need to change the language of these strings to site's default first and then can send for automatic translation. Because automatic translation only works one way like Default Language to Secondary Language.
To translate strings from String Translation automatically, please go to WPML > String translation, select and send for translation.
If you have enabled Translate everything they will be translated in the background, otherwise go to WPML > Translation, "Take and Translate" translation job, and in Advanced translation editor click "Translate automatically".
