[Waiting for user feedback] Questions about Translation Process and Database Integration with LILT Service
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
WordPress 6.7 has introduced a new issue that impact translations, please update WooCommerce and WPML to the latest versions before you report issues. More about this here - https://wpml.org/errata/php-error-wp-6-7-notice-function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called/
Background of the issue:
I am trying to understand how translated content is retrieved and stored when using a translation service like LILT with WPML. I want to know if the translations are obtained through an online connection such as a REST API, WebHook, or XML-RPC, and how the translated content is stored in our database.
Symptoms:
N/A
Questions:
How do we get translated content when using a translation service like LILT with WPML?
Is the translated content retrieved through an online connection such as a REST API, WebHook, or XML-RPC?
How is the translated content stored in our database?
Does the translation get saved automatically as soon as the translation service finishes?
What is the name of the function with file path that the translation service uses to save the translated content in the database?
Is there a flow diagram available for this process?
Our second-tier support team has reviewed the issue and provided the following suggestion:
- Navigate to WPML -> Settings and set the Translation Pickup mode to "manual"
You can adjust this setting to manual, and then once a week, click "Check status and get translations" under WPML -> Translation Management.
As for the functions, we first check if any jobs are completed on the Lilt side. Then, we pull the translation files to the translation proxy and download the XLIFF files to WPML. Let me know which part you need assistance with, and we’ll be glad to help further.
