Background of the issue:
Hi WPML Support Team,
I'm experiencing an issue with paragraph formatting that is not staying consistent between our original language version and the translations. In the English version of the page, the content is correctly formatted into two paragraphs:
version: hidden link
But, in the newly translated pages, there are numerous added line breaks disrupting the formatting:
Portuguese version: hidden link
This issue only seems to occur with new translations. All our previously translated pages appear fine, but when we translate content using the latest version of WPML, we're encountering these formatting issues.
This is affecting both our live site (dhis2.org) and our staging site (hidden link).
Hi! Thank for your help, I have translated a new page and it looks good. However, I have already translated about 400 pages previously where the formatting is still broken, is there a good way to fix it on pages that are already translated?
Would you please send them for translation again? See if it fixes the issue that way?
If not, I'm afraid you will need to make a change to the paragraphs that have problems to cause WPML to re-evaluate those paragraphs to get the correct formatting.
Hi Christopher,
When you mention "sending them to translation again," do you mean removing the translated page, permanently deleting it, and then re-adding it? Wouldn't that add additional translation charges? I tried to use the "edit the translation" option to refund credits and retranslate, but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue.
Thanks for clarifying!
I tried to permanently delete the page and translate it again, and it still used the wrong formatting. Is there any other way to fix this? There are about 110 pages per language and this problem is both in French and Spanish and fixing it by updating each paragraph in English would take days.
Thank you for the URL. Unfortunately, it seems that the website is not available anymore.
No page is available under: hidden link
Is there a need to have another URL?

Thanks.
