Problem: The client is developing a site and wants to set up automatic translation for WooCommerce elements such as orders, refunds, posts, and subscriptions. They also want to ensure that all frontend elements, including multilingual emails, are translated correctly. Solution: We recommended checking our WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency guide for general setup and specifically our guide on how to translate WooCommerce emails for email translations. For subscription products, we provided a guide to ensure correct translation setup: Translating WooCommerce Subscriptions. We clarified that actual subscriptions should not be translated as the client will only have one subscription regardless of the language.

Problem: You are developing a site using GeneratePress blocks in the Gutenberg editor and encountering issues while creating a list. The translation process mixes the strong tag, leading to a design break. Solution: We recommend creating a new test page and translating it to see if the markers are added correctly. This step will help determine if the issue is related to the page's size or another factor.

Problem: The client experienced a significant increase in the size of the icl_translation table after switching from Elementor to Gutenberg/GeneratePress, causing delays in staging software due to the large database size. The client also inquired about the creation and loading of .mo files for translations. Solution: We can offer installing a special plugin to manage and delete unnecessary jobs that may be enlarging the database. Our developers are aware of this issue and are working on a solution in a future version of WPML.

Problem: You have four profile types in Buddyboss and have set profile types to translation in the settings and translated them. However, in the profile type dropdown list, all different profile types are shown instead of only the ones in the chosen language, and their text has no color. Solution: We are aware of this issue and our developers have added it to the backlog. The main challenge lies in handling this when the data is not available in a standard WordPress CPT format. A new version of Buddyboss glue has been released which addresses this issue. We recommend updating to this latest version.

Problem: You are working on a site under development and trying to add a string for translation in a child theme custom template using the code:
printf( __( '<a href="%s">Secure your login with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Passkeys</a>', 'buddyboss' ), esc_url( '/account-security/' ) );
However, the string cannot be found for translation. Solution: We recommend checking if the 'Auto register untranslated strings' option is enabled, as it should register new strings by default. Additionally, for custom coding scenarios, you might need to scan the theme or plugin files. You can do this through WPML-> Theme and plugins localization.
The 'Auto register untranslated strings' option registers the untranslated strings while visiting the site and adds them to String Translation. The 'Track where strings appear' feature helps identify the source and location of the strings on the site.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where old content that no longer appears on your page is still visible in the Advanced Translation Editor after switching from Elementor to Generatepress Blocks, this summary might help. Solution: We recommend switching to the WordPress editor on the affected page and then switching back to the WPML Translation Editor. This action should help in removing the outdated main content from the editor.

The client is developing a site using WPML with WP Job Manager and is facing an issue where bookmarks set in one language do not appear when switching to another language.
Solution: We recommend the following steps after ensuring a full site backup:
1) Navigate to
/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks
and open
wp-job-manager-bookmarks.php
for editing. 2) Modify the code at line 356 and line 407 to include WPML filters that handle translations of bookmarked posts. This ensures that when a post is bookmarked in one language, it is recognized across all translations.
3) To prevent duplicate bookmark entries appearing for each language on the bookmark page, modify the
directory. Update the loop handling the display of bookmarks to check the language code of the bookmark against the current language and only display bookmarks that match.
Please refer to the following thread for more details.

Problem: You are developing a site using WPML to translate group types into different languages and want to order the group type list in the drop-down menu alphabetically. However, the drop-down list of group types is not ordered alphabetically, and changes made in one language affect the order in other languages as well. Solution: We have identified that the option to order group types alphabetically in the drop-down menu cannot be translated in WPML and requires custom programming. This is beyond the scope of our support. We recommend contacting one of our certified partners for custom programming assistance. You can find a suitable partner at http://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-contractors/. Additionally, consulting the BuddyBoss plugin author might provide further customization options.

Problem: The client installed the new Buddyboss Glue addon and encountered issues with managing translations of profile types. They observed duplicated entries. Solution: 1. Set profile types as not translatable in the new BPML version. Instead, use WPML > String Translation to manage these translations. 2. Delete any duplicated profile type entries.
