wrong language in title

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

Problem:
Some strings were not translated correctly for Yoast SEO titles and page titles using automatic translation.

Solution:
Some terminologies may look like not translated correctly but in fact these are translated and saved in translation as well as translation memory.

All you need is to edit the translation manually and correct as needed.

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I've fixed the issues on following pages: - Title and SEO Title at hidden link - Thai translation under big V at hidden link - Main title on banner in Spanish at hidden link All pages were translated automatically and all of the above mentioned translations were present in the ATE. However it looked like that something in between marked these translations as Cancelled on our servers. Although these were completed in your site. This may happen when a lot of plugins and several content types are mixed in one page. This may create a kind of invalid content when ending up with the automatic translation. Because not every plugin is compatible and since all share the same WP ecosystem, it is a common issue. However, to fix this: - I've cleared the statuses of these pages. - Turned off automatic translation. - Cleared and deactivated caching. - Deactivated other plugins. - Edited translations manually and corrected where needed. - Then I clicked the small green tick ✅ in ATE for the correction to update in the translation memory. - Finally completed the translation by clicking "Complete" button in ATE. And now the above mentioned places look fine. I'll recommend doing these steps in such an event, specially if you're making changes to the content, temporarily clear and deactivate caching. Make your changes and either update manually or send content for automatic translation. I've now re-activated all the plugins. I also updated your parent theme, a couple of plugins and WPML plugins to the latest versions. All you need is to turn on Automatic Translation after checking the above mentioned.

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Thank you for the details. I've fixed all those strings on your recently provided links. In fact, all these were needed to update manually as I mentioned earlier. As I mentioned also, there's been some issue with these pages previously during automatic translation. The pages were translated correctly and translation memory had those particular strings saved (the same you saw as wrong). This is a common case with some terminologies vs the translation engine used. Anyways it is not a problem, all you can do is to edit the translation manually and fix the words/strings you want as per your needs. For the search page, the string 您搜索了 added in ST was in the wrong language. So I changed the language to Chinese (traditional) and then translated it to English and it is working fine now (hidden link). Remember to translate this in other languages as needed (see attached). See https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/ for details.

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	For the flags in footer, I've split the topic into a separate ticket at https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-cannot-see-language-flags-in-footer-language-switcher/ because as per our forum policy we can only handle one issue per ticket. Our support 'll handle that new ticket accordingly. For that title translation issue, I fixed this morning and can see it correctly on all other places. Perhaps there was any change made to this page? Anyways, simply edit the translation, make corrections and complete it to 100%.
