Problem: You are working on a site under development and trying to translate the FSE Navigation block using WPML, but the links still point to the wrong (English) URLs. The FSE menu links are not updated according to the language version after translation. Solution: 1. Ensure you have translated the menu as described in our guide. Check the documentation here: WPML 4.5.3 compatibility with WordPress 5.9 and Full Site Editing. Also, verify that the page title in the secondary language is translated. 2. Increase the WP memory limit to at least 128MB. You can add the following code to your wp-config.php file:
Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support.

Problem: You are trying to translate a pattern on your site and have successfully translated it into SK, but you are unable to send it for translation to EN. This pattern is used sitewide on a massive amount of pages. Solution: Ensure you are following the correct workflow by creating a new job for the pattern at WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard and accessing the translation via WPML > Translations. Please avoid editing translations of templates, template parts, menus and patterns of Block Themes directly inside Site Editor, as this could break your site's display conditions.

Problem: The client needs to query posts of a specific type in a language different from the current display language on a multilingual site. For example, querying posts in Slovak while the site is displayed in English. Solution: We recommend using the
wpml_switch_language
action to switch the language context temporarily for querying posts. Here’s how you can implement it:
do_action('wpml_switch_language', 'sk_SK');
This code switches the current language to Slovak ('sk_SK'), allowing you to query posts in that language. Ensure that the posts/pages you want to query are published and not drafts. After performing the query, you can switch back to the original language if needed. For more details on using this hook, please visit: WPML hooks reference.
