This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing heavy server load when running the 'Translate Link Targets' feature in WPML and is looking for a way to control or stop the process to prevent server overload.
Solution:
We understand that the 'Translate Link Targets' feature can be resource-intensive. Currently, there is no direct way to adjust the speed of this process. To better handle the load, we recommend optimizing server settings such as PHP memory limit, max execution time, and database query limits, ensuring they are within the limits allowed by your hosting provider.
To stop the link scanning process, you can refresh the WPML Settings page. This will halt the process, and any links processed before the refresh will remain updated. If the process continues to run in the background after refreshing the page, we would appreciate it if you could provide details on how to replicate the issue and information about the tools used to monitor the background process.
We acknowledge that a feature to control the 'Translate Link Targets' process could be beneficial and will consider it for future updates. If you find that the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, possibly because it's outdated, or if you need further assistance, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket with us.
