Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

I can state now these are resolved, but the ones resolved [implicit also mean]

= ATE shows for different pages and different products = not all "to be translated content"
= resolved manual, which might complicate issues with updates in the short term again
= does not explain why 50% of product pages [show RM content], other ones not
= RM content often not translated, or the ATE does not work with translation [so you have to go to Google = translate and copy | paste
= with next update, it might go wrong again

So, I am not confident, it is resolved, for now, yes [but I looked in depth at these pages [all had to be changed manually, and often content to be translated "simply" is not on the ATE

I am afraid, it looks like resolved, but it is structural not.

The next split ticket issue shows that [that content was fine, and all over the site [part is UK default and part translate], while it was "in the past resolved".

The examples are just 2, it happens all over the site.

Hope I can explain, what I mean or try to explain.

Regards,
TT

please, stay my first contact, and work together with Mr Sebash, to find out what is "really going on". Last week no progress, but Mr Sebash, copied the website, so can test, and try to figure out what is going not okay.

It has something to do with:

= update translation
= ATE
= inconsequent [show content and seo content yes | no | partly in ATE

Changes made, might get overwritten.

And changing and URL in the ATE, a simple example [should not be necessary, that is what WPML should do]

Another big thing, I do not understand is [why some pages | product show URL | others do not or some show RANKMATH SEO Stuff, other ones not

That is my problem, and that auto changes [for sure that happened with = new split ticket, these pages were already translated correctly with WPML, and suddenly show part UK default content and partly WPML translated. And this content is not in ATE anymore! part of content which is again UK default [part of the pages].

That besides, the fact that at least a larger part [over 30% of pages], does not translate the RM SEO Stuff.

Regards TT

Hi,

Can you please share some screenshots of the RankMath translation issue? And share some page URLs where I can see that.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

Could you have a look at the WPML ATE pages of this UK Default Page?

hidden link

I changed the UK Default page, but for some reason, the ATE gets some text [it adds copies it 27 times], something is not okay:-(

The screenshot is of this page = WPML NL [same happens with DE en ES]

Could you have a look at this?

Regards and thanks

ATE shows endless repeat of texts = WPML NL ES DE of Private Snorkeling = see screenshot NL.png

Hi,

It's the title and description of images on the page, please check this screenshot hidden link

Have you updated the image info recently? If yes, it should be available in ATE and translated. If you don't want to translate image info in ATE, please go to WPML > Settings > Media Translation section > Disable option "Translate media library texts with posts".

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

That explains it; I have put that function soo thatit is solved!

RANKMATH BREADCRUMBS = location [bottom page in Footer]

I have tried to use the Tutorial of RM and WPMP [see one of the screenshots], but it did not help me.

I cannot find the BreadCrubs of RankMath; I think:

= select domain RankMath General
= looLookr breadcrumbs [see screenshot]
= I only find 8 seightrings [could be that these cover all the site, I am not sure]

Note: only look at the RankMath breadccrumbs [I also have WooCommerce breadcrumbs = these are fine !!! and are not allowed to change!!]

If I select the RankMath strings [located in Footer], they are assigned to JOB Translators [so then, for all translated pages, I have to use the ATE].

And if I use the plus ICON [it does not work].

I have only done 1 string in the translation jobs [as this would mean I have to manually open like 120 pages to translate the RANKMathh Breadcrumbs???]

You see these at the bottom of the page in the UK Default Language.'

My question is, how should I approach the translate these [in Footer with WPML] from UK default to:

= NL
= DE
= ES

Problems =
= I do not want those jobs [means just for translation these BreadCrumbs] open with ATE 120 pages]
= I think I am not able to find [besides the homepage] these BreadCrumbs
= I know the code is moved on my request to Footer [for reasons]

I think I approached, this the wrong way, but the instructions from the WPML / RM tutorial do not work on my site.

I hope I can explainn what I mean., I know the RM breadcrumb code is in the Footer itself. So probably the solution can be found there. I am not able to find all those rank math breadcrumbs. I would like [it goes typically these to be added to a usual update of translation of pages].

Regards,
TT

Hi,

The RankMath breadcrumb is added to the footer (Global footer template) so you need to translate RM strings one time. Also, you can translate strings in bulk using automatic translation, without translating strings one-by-one. Please follow these steps:

1. Go to WPML > String Translation > Select RankMath domain > Select strings in bulk > Add them to the Basket.
2. From the WPML > Translation Management > Basket > Send the job to translation.
3. Go to WPML > Translations > Take the job and open ATE > All strings are there and you just need to translate them in one place.

Please check these screenshots hidden link

If you want to find more RM strings, please follow this documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

Thanks, that helped!

I walk into another issue; I see that WPML sometimes changes the URL.

Today, the Spanish version of:

hidden link

It did not work anymore; it changed to:

hidden link

As two pages link to that page:
hidden link
hidden link

I changed manual in the Spanish version URL, again to:

hidden link

So now it works; how can this happen? I also see sometimes URLs not translated, for example:

German Language:
hidden link
hidden link

I am afraid the links change after a while, which means some button links do not work anymore; I have to check all [now no time for], but this I have seen more often.

Do you have any idea, as the page I talked about worked fine a couple of days ago, how this happens and how to prevent this?

[some background = I know how to optimize German pages for RM, I changed some German Url [but I did not touch any Spanish or Dutch content, perhaps this is related, ...], but I also have seen before I optimized these German pages [some].

TT

Hi,

As I mentioned before, we can handle one issue per ticket only so I will split this ticket into a new one for your new question with translating URL.
If you see the main issue of this ticket with translating RankMath strings is resolved, please mark it as Resolved.

Thanks.
