The client is experiencing an issue where changes made to an English page, specifically adding a new h1 tag and an icon, are not being reflected in the translated versions without incurring additional full translation charges.
Solution:
We identified that the main issue stems from the site not being connected to the Translation Memory before making these changes. To resolve this, we recommend connecting your sites to the Translation Memory to ensure translation consistency and avoid similar issues in the future. For detailed instructions on how to connect your sites, please refer to our guide on Automatic Translation Subscription for Multiple Sites.
Additionally, it's important to ensure that during migrations or site copies, the sites are correctly connected to the Translation Memory. This step is crucial for maintaining translation consistency across different environments.
As a one-time gesture, we have deposited 300,000 credits into your account to assist with the translations.

The client reported an issue where a page that is not translated is displaying language icons at the bottom, and language flags are not showing on another page.
Solution:
We explained that the 'Suppliers' post type is set to 'Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language' in the WPML settings. This setting allows content to be available in English and also in secondary languages without needing a translation, which explains the presence of language icons.
Regarding the missing language flags, the Spanish post is created in Spanish and is not translated into any secondary languages nor is it a translation of an English post. This is why it does not show language flags in the footer. This behavior is expected under the current settings.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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.

The client reported that after moving their site, the language parameter was not included in the URLs as expected, despite having set the URL to use directories for different languages.
Solution:

1. Ensure a site backup is done. 2. Go to WPML>>Settings>>Custom Post Types translation and set the 'Destinations' post type to 'Translatable – only show translated items' and save the changes. 3. Visit Settings>>Permalinks and resave the settings to ensure the changes take effect. For more details, refer to our documentation on translating custom posts.
