Yoast SEO sitemap. In the sitemap, there are links to pages with languages that no longer exist on the site. In addition, there are links with added /./, which look like this.
your-domain.com/de/./some-category/
The links work and lead to the correct category, for example.
your-domain.com/de/some-category/
But we don't want to have them on the sitemap in this way.

We've found the issue, there were some legacy rows in the wp_terms table from when we were doing the initial testing of languages on the site, and once we deleted those rows it fixed the issue.
Problem:
Hello, I made a duplicate from header and footer with WPML Dashboard with "Duplicate content" for change the content manual in each language.
But when I change content via Elementor Editor in each language, the content changes automatically in the other language. I only want to set content manually in english separate from Spanish. But by myself, not with translator.
What can I do?
Solution:
It seems that the problem was occurring because the String Translation plugin was not installed.
By adding it through the Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial tab, we were able to make a few changes both in the English and in the Spanish version of the Footer, without reflecting this modification into the another language.
Problem:
I have a site with two languages French and German, after I removed the French language and deleted all content, the page built with Elementor is messed up. Solution:
This happens when the Default Kit template of Elementor in the original language (French) is deleted. Please follow the steps below to fix this issue:
1. Enable the two languages again > Set German as the default language.
2. Go to Templates > Theme Builder > Switch to table view.
3. Edit the template Default Kit in the German language > In the Language box > This is the translation of: None.
4 Switch to French language with the language switcher at the topbar > Edit the Default Kit > In the Language box > Change the original language to German.
5. Then you can go to WPML > Languages and delete translation content properly. Relevant Documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-completely-remove-a-language-from-your-site/ https://elementor.com/help/reset-elementor-settings-back-to-default/
Problem:
I have a category page called Portfolio in English language. I've translated the category to the slug portfolio-pt, but if I go tho the Menu and choose in Portuguese and then click in portfolio (PT) it goes back to portfolio in English. Solution:
I checked that this issue was being caused due to this Yoast setting being disabled:
Yoast -> Settings -> Categories -> Additional settings -> Show the categories prefix in the slug
To fix it I went to WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomies Translation -> Categories (category) -> Set different slugs in different languages for Categories and removed the Portuguese translation in there.
Problem:
The secondary language pages show Internal Server Error with different languages in directories language URL format from WPML >> Languages page.
Problem:
When using different domain per language wp-admin and pages in the hidden language was not accessible even though user had already set "Display hidden languages" from the profile editor.
Solution:
- Clear cookies on all domains and browser cache.
- Check "Auto sign-in and sign-out users from all domains" at WPML -> Languages.
Problem: The client reported an issue where Elementor defaults to a language other than the admin's language in the editor. They inquired about the progress of a feature to use Elementor in the native language, which was promised for a future WPML version. Solution: We have escalated the issue to our development team, but currently, there is no permanent solution. We recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor to translate content built with Elementor, so editing the translation in the French language is not necessary. As a workaround, continue deleting the mo and po files as previously discussed in this ticket.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if the problem persists. For further assistance, you can contact us through our support forum.
Problem: The client is trying to understand and implement media translation. They noticed that images are located in WPML>Media Translation but are not found in Translation Management as shown in the documentation. The client is also concerned about the absence of a "core/image" location when translating pages and whether running the "Start" function multiple times could be an issue.
Solution: 1. To ensure images appear in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) for translation, we enabled the option "Translate media library texts with posts" in WPML -> Settings -> Media Translation and applied the changes. 2. We clarified that image URLs typically do not appear in ATE unless the image is external. For different images per language, WPML Media Translation should be used. 3. We explained that only images that are in post content or attached to the post are available in Translation Management. Images used from the media library and inserted into custom fields, like Elementor data, are not available. 4. We also mentioned that images need to be translated only once. Translating the alt text or title of an image will save it in the translated media, independent of post translation. Therefore, there is no need to translate the same image for each post it is inserted into.
Problem:
The translations are working fine for the Home Page and Single Pages. However, for the shop page, product categories and products, the translations are not working and it shows a message "Page not Found".
Solution:
Just to let you know for future reference, my hosting (SiteGround) have found the issue.
They disable their plugin and it seems that the pages were working.
So they made some tests and it seems that by leaving memcached disabled the pages are working so there may be a conflict.
So far, the issue didn't occur again.
Problem:
The secondary language pages show Internal Server or 404 Error with different languages in directories language URL format from WPML >> Languages page.
