manojP	Background of the issue: I am trying to set up WPML for translating my site's frontend content from Arabic to English. My site is hidden link. I have set up the plugin, but I am facing issues with the translation process. Symptoms: When I open my Home page for translation, the content in Arabic that needs to be translated is missing in WPML Translator. Only the Title and SEO Meta are being fetched. Questions: How can I ensure that all content, including the main body text, is available for translation in WPML? What steps should I follow to set up translation for WooCommerce products and categories?

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks, I could access your site. The in-progress translation of the homepage was probably a job before you added content to the Arabic homepage, which is why most of the content was missing. I completed this old job, and you will see that you have all the content available for translation when you translate the homepage from Arabic into English. Please see the attached screenshot content-av.jpg. The message in Settings -> Reading told you to create translations for the home and blog pages. Once the translation of the homepage is completed, that message will disappear. If you are not displaying a blog page on your site, you can disregard the message about it. Otherwise, you need to translate the blog page. Regards, Itamar.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, I could see that the translation was still in progress. I then edited that translation again and switched to the previous version of the Advanced Translation Editor, which allowed me to complete the job. Now, the English translation is shown on the front end. Please see the attached screenshot, en-ok-on-the-front.jpg. Please note that RST API is not enabled on your site. Please see the attached screenshot, no-rest.jpg. This can block some features of WPML and WordPress. You can read about it here. https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ https://wpml.org/documentation/support/rest-api-dependencies/ Please enable it on your site or ask your hosting service to enable it. You can move (or add) the Language Switcher of your site from the footer to the header in WPML -> Languages. Please read about it here. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/ Regards, Itamar.
