Problem: The client was unable to see the box for translating selected strings and sending them to automatic translation on their website. Additionally, changing the website language did not work. Solution: We resolved the issue by manually updating the database, as the root cause was not identifiable through normal troubleshooting. We recommend the client to: 1. Select strings and send them to the translation basket. 2. Assign a translator. 3. Go to WPML > Translations and take the translation. Once in our Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), the client will be able to use the automatic translation feature.

Problem: The client was unable to see the translated string for a custom plugin named 'growytasty' on the frontend, despite having scanned for strings and translated them in WPML. Solution: We discovered that the issue was related to the text domain not being loaded correctly. To resolve this, we added the following code to the 'growytasty.php' file to ensure the text domain is loaded:
After adding this code, the text domain loaded properly, and the translation appeared correctly on the frontend. For more details on configuring and loading translation files, you can visit our documentation: Translating the Theme You Created.

Problem: The client is unable to translate the string 'Apply store credit discounts?' from the Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce Free plugin, despite following the standard WPML translation process and confirming the string's presence on the frontend. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Go to WPML -> String Translation, search for the string, select it, and delete it using the button below the results table. 2. Enable the 'Auto register strings for translation' option at the bottom left of the String Translation page. 3. Visit the URL where the string appears, then return to WPML -> String Translation and search for the string again. 4. If the string does not appear, go to WPML -> Theme and Plugins Localization and scan the plugin again. 5. After updating the string translations, go to Elementor > Tools and click "Regenerate Files & Data" to ensure the translations load correctly.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend creating a staging site to run further tests without affecting the live site. You can use this plugin for creating staging sites: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/.
