Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. You should be able to translate all tags automatically by following the below steps:

1. Create a new temporary post in the default language.
2. Assign all tags to the post.
3. Try to translate the post using Advanced Translation Editor and It will also translate the tags.

Here is a doc for more details:

If the issue still persists, please add the debug report in the Debug Information box. I have also enabled debug info box for your next reply: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Please let me know the results,
Thank you

Hi Silvia,

I’m Marcel, and I’ll be handling your ticket as my colleague Noman is currently unavailable. Could you kindly provide access to your site so I can run some tests?

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated.

You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.

IMPORTANT
-Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
-If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
hidden link

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel you are very kind and thank you so much. I have notice that some tags are translated and some not. so i have decided to leave the things as it is and translate manually the other which are not translated, i think is easier.
If i find some other issue a will open a new ticket.
thanks a lot.
Best
Silvia
