[Resolved] Translation of our website in Arabic Language

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

Problem:
The client is trying to translate their website into Arabic and other languages using WPML but is facing issues with poor translation quality and difficulties in translating the Header, Menu, Footer, and property listings.
Solution:
1. For improving translation quality, we recommend adjusting the translation engines from WPML > Settings.
2. To translate the Header, Menu, and Footer, which are built using Elementor, follow the guide on translating Elementor Header template.
3. For translating menus, refer to translating menus documentation.
4. Check the theme-specific issues and workarounds for the Houzes theme at Translate Theme with WPML and WPML theme compatibility for Houzez.

If these solutions do not resolve your issues or if they seem outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate our website into Arabic, one page at a time. I have translated two pages but needed human intervention to fix quality issues. I also want to translate the Header, Menu, Footer, and property listings. I have hidden the language from WP Admin. The issue can be seen at hidden link.

Symptoms:
The translation quality is poor, requiring human correction. I am unable to translate the Header, Menu, Footer, and property listings.

Questions:
I want to configure the WPML Settings as I want to use it for 4 languages (French, English, Russian, and Azerbaijani), we want to buy Pay as You Page, but need to configure all settings as automatic.
How can I improve the translation quality?
How do I translate the Header, Menu, and Footer into Arabic?
How can I translate the property listings on the website?

Hello,

thanks for contacting us.

1) We use an external automatic translation engine, for which we can not affect the quality much. Also, we are developing WPML AI, which we are improving quality and it will keep getting better.

You can adjust translation engines from WPML > Settings.

2) I am not sure how are those built, first please share WPML debug info (https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/) and share with me how did you built Header, menu and footer in default language?

3) I see you are using the Houzes theme, please check the related documentation and note that there are some known issues with it, that require a workaround until a permanent fix from the theme is released.

I would like to keep this ticket on topic with point 2, to keep the conversation on topic and easy to follow, since we limit 1 issue per ticket. If you have further doubts about points 1,3 or any other best would be to start a new chat for them and we will be glad to further help with any issue you may have.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello Drazen,

I have attached the requested code above, also note that our menu and footer are designed using Elementor. I tried to translate the homepage page hidden link, the page is translated but it is not showing any header or property listing. This is looking very weird. Please help us fix this.

Thank you

Hello,

thanks for getting back.

1) Make sure you have translated menus to other language:

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/

2) Make sure you have translated Elementor Header template
- https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/

Let me know once you did so and if you still have issues.

Drazen

Hi,

Could you please check why Property listings are not appearing on the homepage or any other pages after translation. I have pinned featured properties to display in the website's header as a hero slider, its showing well in English website hidden link but none of the properties are showing up in the header in Arabic version.

Looking forward to your assistance.

Thanks
