Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where deleted glossary entries in Portuguese reappear and do not trigger a retranslation to the default language. Additionally, the slug remains unchanged, maintaining the original translation. This issue persists even after adding a new language (Turkish), where the glossary automatically filled itself with translations using the original term as the translated term. Solution: We have addressed the issue by deleting the problematic glossary entry completely and then re-adding it with only the Dutch value. This approach seems to prevent the Portuguese term from reappearing. We recommend checking if this solution holds by monitoring the glossary entries. If the issue persists or if similar problems occur, especially after activating ATE or adding new languages, we suggest opening a new support ticket for further investigation. Additionally, it's important to ensure that all themes and plugins are updated to their latest versions.

Problem: You are using WPML 4.7.* with Automatic Translation enabled and have updated your glossary to improve the translation of key terms. After resending posts and custom post types (CPTs) for automatic retranslation, the updates were applied correctly to posts and CPTs, but existing taxonomy terms attached to those posts were not updated with the new glossary rules. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Go to WPML > Settings. 2. Deselect the option 'Don't show translated taxonomies in Translation Editor'. This change will allow already translated taxonomies to appear in the editor for retranslation, and they will be updated with the new glossary entries. You can then perform a small update to the default language or a bulk update and resend it for automatic translation.

Problem: The client imported the wrong glossary with many empty rows into their WPML site and needed either a restoration of a previous glossary or complete deletion of the current one. Solution: We advised the client to confirm they had a local backup of their glossary, as we could not restore it later. After confirmation, we proceeded to delete the glossary. We moved the issue to a forum ticket and awaited a response from our developers. The glossary was successfully deleted.

Problem: The client was unable to update to WPML version 4.7 and faced issues with their glossary disappearing after attempting updates and key changes in a staging environment. The glossary was not stored locally but on WPML's servers, and the client was concerned about the loss of translations and glossary entries. Solution: We advised the client to ensure they were not using the beta channel for updates and to switch to the production channel to check for updates. If necessary, the update could be manually downloaded from the WPML.org account. For the glossary issue, we confirmed that glossary entries and automatic translations are stored under an ATE (Advanced Translation Editor) account on WPML's servers, not linked to the WPML registration key. We recommended ensuring that both staging and production environments are connected to the same ATE account to avoid issues like missing glossary entries or unsynced translations. If discrepancies continue, we suggested re-registering the WPML key without affecting existing translations or glossaries, as these are managed separately through the ATE account. For detailed steps on managing glossary entries, please refer to this documentation.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where translations are inserting unwanted tags in the HTML across the website, which are not present in the original English text. This issue is visible on the homepage and menu, and there are [returns] in the backend text editor that should not be there.
Solution: We have consulted with the developers of the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), and they provided the following insights and suggestions: 1. When segments are manually joined, they are combined with a \n (e.g., joining phrase1 and phrase2 results in phrase1\nphrase2). 2. For the pages in question, it appears the segments may have been manually joined. To address this, they suggest: - Unjoining the segments, which should resolve the issue. - Alternatively, updating the translations using the previously recommended solution.
Currently, there is no batch solution to address this issue comprehensively. The only option available is to fix it manually. Our developers are considering creating a script to automate the process, but it will require time as it may introduce additional complications.

Problem: You are facing an issue where the 'review translations' function does not display any results despite indicating there are over 600 reviews pending. This problem arises while managing translations for a large number of pages/posts across multiple languages, requiring a simple system for non-developer international team members to use. Solution: First, ensure that you have correctly added the language pairs. This setup is crucial for the translations to appear in the review queue. For guidance on setting up language pairs, refer to the documentation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/ Once the language pairs are set, the translations should be visible in the translations queue, ready for review. If you continue to experience issues or find this solution outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Additionally, always check 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.

Problem: You are experiencing double charging for translations on both production and staging sites, despite the expectation that translations should not be charged again as per documentation. Solution: The issue occurred because the Translation Memory was not updated in time, leading to double charges. We have refunded you 80k credits to address this error. To prevent future occurrences, we recommend translating content directly on the production site and setting them to be reviewed before publishing via WPML > Settings. If you choose to translate on the staging site, please wait at least 5 minutes before sending the same content for translation on the production site.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check 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. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if the problem persists. You can do so at WPML support forum.
Problem: The client is experiencing an issue with Jet Engine listings where the listing grid is mixing languages. When clicking on a Dutch version of a listing, it redirects to the English version. The issue is also observed with slugs, where the Dutch version uses the postname and the English version uses the post ID.
Solution: We have identified that the problem is due to the current Custom Query used for listing the posts. The query is incorrectly assuming that the
term_taxonomy_id
and
term_id
in the term relationships and terms table always match, which is not the case and can lead to fetching incorrect values and retrieving the wrong language.
To resolve this, we recommend adjusting the query so that it does not solely rely on
terms.term_id
for fetching values.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.
