Problem:
Client was using custom code where some strings were not being detected for translation, despite using proper gettext methods.
Solution:
It turned out there were unnecessary spaces in the strings and in the related ACF fields. Removing those fixed the problem.

Problem: You are trying to run custom actions when translated posts are saved using WPML, but the standard
1
save_post
hook no longer works after switching to automatic translation. Solution: We recommend using WPML-specific hooks that are triggered during the translation process. A useful hook for your case is
1
wpml_pro_translation_completed
, which fires when an automatic translation is completed. Here's how you can use it:
1
add_action( 'wpml_pro_translation_completed', function( $post_id) {// Custom action for translated posts});
If you need to catch updates to translated posts in general, another option is
1
wpml_sync_duplicate_content
, depending on your specific setup.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where repeater field rows disappear in translations when the source language of a post is updated, this might be due to the translation settings of your fields. Specifically, if the field settings were changed from 'Copy once' to 'Translate' in WPML, updates to the original post require retranslation to maintain the repeater fields in the translated versions. Solution: We recommend using the 'minor edit' option when updating posts that have been translated. This approach helps in preventing the disappearance of repeater fields in translations when the source post is updated. If the translation still does not reflect the changes correctly, you may need to manually update the translation through WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) or adjust the field's translation preference settings back to their original state if feasible.

Problem: You are trying to use a one-click translation solution with WPML for a WYSIWYG Editor Advanced Custom Field named 'description', which is set to 'Translate'. Previously, this field was set to 'Don't translate' and was manually translated in the WordPress editor. After changing the setting and using Automatic Translation, the field does not translate unless you modify the English version, save it, and resend for translation. Additionally, you encountered PHP errors related to 'post_content' and 'post_type' being null. Solution: We recommend applying the workaround detailed in our errata page. Please visit Changing Translation Preferences for Custom Fields. Alternatively, you can try editing the original 'description' field on the original content, save the page, and then let the translation process run again.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check for related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.
Problem: The client was unable to use the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) as the server appeared to be down, which was affecting their work. Solution: We asked the client to inform us about the specific error they were encountering and to attempt accessing ATE once more to check if the issue persisted. We then advised the client to clear their browser cache or try accessing ATE from a different browser, as recommended by our colleagues from the ATE department.
If you're experiencing similar issues with ATE, we recommend you first check the error message and try accessing the service again. If the problem continues, clear your browser cache or switch to a different browser. This should resolve the issue.
