Background of the issue:
I am trying to ensure that my translations are working correctly on my website, hidden link. The translations appear correct in the backend and in the Advanced Translation Editor.

Symptoms:
The translations are not working on the front end, specifically for the Home page, while other pages work fine.

Questions:
Why are the translations not appearing correctly on the Home page?
What steps can I take to resolve the translation issue on the front end?

Hi,

It could be a stuck translation. These steps are meant to force the translation job to update and refresh any stuck translations.

Best regards,

And all the other languages they are mixed.

Hi,

Please make sure that the testimonials are translated into all languages. After that, check the section on the English page.

Hi,

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

I fixed the issue by using an older version of the translation editor. So for now it is fixed.

Thank you for your help.
