Problem: The client wants to use a manual translation service for their site and inquired whether WPML can be set to manual translation mode. Solution: If you're looking to use manual translation rather than automatic translation in WPML, you need to adjust your settings. Go to WPML > Settings and select "Translate what you choose" instead of "Translate everything". For more detailed guidance on manual translation methods, you can visit Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages. Additionally, if you want to add a local translator who can handle translation tasks, check out Adding a Translator.

Problem: You are unable to save 'TBD' next to the Zulu language in the Edit Languages section. When you try to save, the screen refreshes, and the update is not saved.
Solution: We discovered that the 'Default locale' field for the Zulu language was empty, which caused the issue. To resolve this, you need to fill in the 'Default locale' field. The correct locale code for Zulu in South Africa is
zu-ZA
. You can adjust this default locale according to your needs. For more information on locale codes, visit Locale Codes Documentation.
