Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my English site to German. The translation is 100% complete, but the German version does not display. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
I expected to see the German version of the site, but instead, I got the English version.

Questions:
Why is the German version not displaying despite being 100% translated?
How can I ensure the translated version is shown correctly?

Hi, i made a small change (paragraph). but after that it seems to have retranslated the whole content, because it deducted 50k credits from me... but it worked

Thank you for your feedback.

I’m not entirely sure why the entire content was translated, especially if only a single paragraph was modified and the page wasn’t explicitly sent for automatic translation from WPML → Translation Management. However, given that the page contains thousands of words, the credits usage is within expected limits.

That said, as an exception, I’ve added 50,000 credits to your site.
