[Resolved] English to Spanish Translation 99% completed.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The client was experiencing an issue where the HOME page was not fully translating from English to Spanish, showing 99% completion. Additionally, when switching from English to Spanish on the HOME page, the page would not display in Spanish, and the menu item would revert back to English. This issue was not present on other pages.

Solution:

Firstly, we recommended checking for any HTML markers that might not have been applied in the translation texts, as this could prevent the translation from completing. We provided a link to our documentation for more detailed information on HTML markers in the Advanced Translation Editor: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/#html-markers.

Client was having also some difficulties translating pages which he successfully was able to translate by following our guide on translating WoodMart theme.

Hi,

I am using WoodMart and I translate the normal page without any issues. However, when I translate HOME page, I got 99% completed. It is not converted from English to Spanish.

Please inform me how to fix it.

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards

Hi,



Thank you for contacting WPML Support, I will be happy to help you.


From the image you sent I notice a small orange bar (please check attached image), can you please check were that orange as there might be some HTML marker not being applied on one of the translation texts (it might be some italic/bold being applied on the default language in some text somewhere that might be preventing the translation to complete).

Please check this link for more detailed information: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/#html-markers

------

It might not be related to the issue, but according to your debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased, WordPress uses 40Mb as default and the minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/)

You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the line: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ 

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Marsel

Hi Marsel,

Thanks a lot. I have fixed the issue (1 Segment not translated). The home page is 100% translated.

However, when I click the menu from English To Spanish in the Home page. The Home page could be NOT shown in Spanish and the menu item is changed back to English immediately.

I test other pages like SELLING HERE (CLICK IN THE MENU) and select SPANISH in the menu without this issue. The page could show in Spanish.

You could visit hidden link home page to test it.

Thanks.

Best Regards
DARRY TUNG

I have translated other pages without this issue.

Hi,

The problem is fixed as I translate most of pages of WoodMart as your company's user manual.

Thanks
