[Resolved] Some of my site (english version) is translated into french.

Hello,

It is not the update that triggered this,

If you check the strings under String Translation, you will see that the right translation is applied : hidden link

So the issue is from a different location, specifically here : hidden link

You see that the translation of the page itself using the WPML translation editor is where this header is translated and it is showing the wrong translation,

So I totally think this is in relation to the switch to the newer translation editor, the advanced editor (ATE) loaded these translation automatically, so I simply had to edit and correct this translation.

This is totally normal as changing the editor for new translations will not maintain the translation you've done with the classic translation editor (CTE),

And this will only affect your new translations and not the old ones, the old translations are edited and maintained with CTE, the new one will use ATE.

Let me know if you have any questions about this,

Hello,

CTE was enabled as the default before, I knew this because as per our previous ticket here : https://wpml.org/forums/topic/cannot-see-the-submit-label-of-my-houzez-contact-form-widget-in-ate/page/2/#post-16715088

I remember I noticed the change to ATE, which allowed us to better translate your URLs with houzez,

Also, changing the editor actually gives you warnings and notice (it can't easily be changed by mistake) and by default, it uses the option to only use the newly configured editor for new translations (this is what is currently configured on your site : hidden link).

Right now, for what concerns your site, ATE is your default editor, a more powerful and capable editor.

For the Monthly field, It is an expected behavior but here is an explanation and a workaround :

1- That field is set to "translate" to be translatable by the author under WPML > Settings: hidden link , and its data is cached by Houzez

You could temporarely set this field " fave_property_price_postfix
" to "copy" > then translate again, this will copy the empty field to the translations. Then set it back to translate.

But instead, it is better to simply retranslate the property from scratch.

2- Error when re-translating the property
I tried to delete the translation and redo it from scratch (ATE comes with translation memory, it applies your old translation automatically), but the original post kept causing the following error :

 PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get_source_language_code() on bool in /home/u596529853/domains/arnaudhomburger.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/functions-load-tm.php:505

I seems deleting a translation wasn't enough as the theme keeps a copy of it in the database, unrecommended method.

With that said, I simply duplicated the original and translated the duplicate and it is now translated as draft : hidden link

You can publish it, but I thought you could confirm that the data is correct before that.

So as a conclusion, either change the field settings temporarily OR Duplicate the Property and retranslate it (it will be translated automatically using the translation memory).

Best,

Hello Arnaud,

My apologies for causing this confusion with the promotion email, I did not expect such impact.

And I totally agree that this is not as user friendly as it should be, but please keep in mind that all this varies from one theme to another, and this is a specific use case for Houzez.

I understand that this shouldn't be an excuse, but we as WPML are always pushing authors to improve their code to better adhere to multilingual standard (not only WPML, but for all multilingual plugins in general)

You can see "better" results of our partnerships with more established theme authors like Astra, this is why your report are really important for us, as we send every single issue to houzez author.

Sometimes we can fix it ourselves (through workarounds and XML code), sometimes it is up to the authors to add a fix (coding issues).

I'm writing you in hope you get a better idea on how WPML works with thousands of different themes, its a cooperative work from several partners and the work of consecutive testing and support reports.

One step at a time,
