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

Problem:
1) A client created a new WordPress user with the editor role, but the user cannot edit content in languages other than the default language (DE).
2) The client wants to know if it's possible to edit content using the WordPress editor instead of the WPML translation editor.
3) The client inquires about the process of changing the WPML license from a dev site to a production site with a different domain.

Solution:
1) To allow the editor to edit content in other languages, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary language permissions. Check the WPML language management settings and assign the appropriate permissions to the user.
2) To use the WordPress editor for translations instead of the WPML translation editors, you can select the manual translation option. Each user who needs to translate content should follow the steps outlined in the documentation.
3) When you're ready to move your site from development to production on a different domain, update the WPML license accordingly. There are no additional steps mentioned for this process.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket.

Hello there,

1) For our customer for whom our website is intended, I have created a new WordPress user with the role editor. For our customer it should be possible to edit the content in wordpress with this user. For the default language DE, it is possible. If you now change the language to EN, nothing can be edited with this user within a page.

How can this be changed? (s1 - s3, attached)

2) Also, is it possible to work only in the wordpress editor without opening the wpml translation editor? Like in s2? This would be much easier for our customer if he wants to edit content.

3) Our dev site has just been registered for wpml as a dev site. As soon as we launch the site at our customer, we would adapt the license in wpml and set it to production. However, the domain will be a different one. Is there anything else to consider here?

Looking forward for your message,

Best
Cedric

Hello Cedric,

Answering your second question: yes, it is possible.

For using the WordPress editor, you would need to use the manual translation option (as shown here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/).

Each user of the site that is set as a translator or yourself needs to follow those steps in case you would like to use the WordPress editor.

That is the only way we can avoid using the WPML Classic Translation Editor or the WPML Advanced Translation Editor.

That should help.

Best regards,
Lucas Vidal
