Problem: The client is experiencing issues with deleting translations in WPML. Specifically, deleting English translations stops after a few seconds, deleting Spanish translations works for a minute then errors, and restarting the Spanish translation deletion process stops immediately. Additionally, the client is unable to delete all translated media and products efficiently and faces visibility issues of products in the frontend after attempting to reset and disable WPML. Solution: We are already addressing these issues in another support thread. Please refer to the ongoing discussion and solutions provided in the following links:

Problem: You are using WPML with WooCommerce and other plugins, managing a multilingual site with German as the default language and English and Spanish as secondary languages. You have 22,000 products, each with 5 images across 3 languages, resulting in 330,000 images. This large number of duplicated images for each language is consuming 90% of your disk storage. Solution: 1. To prevent duplicating product images for translations, ensure the 'Automatically detect best options for translating image texts' option is enabled in WPML. This setting allows WPML to decide how to handle image metadata based on the image's usage context: - If the image text is stored within the content (e.g., Gutenberg blocks or WooCommerce product images), WPML translates it directly without duplication. - If the image text is sourced from the Media Library (e.g., Elementor or Divi Gallery), WPML duplicates the media text only when necessary. This approach ensures translations are accurate without creating unnecessary database entries. 2. With this option enabled, images are not duplicated in the database; translated products will display the correct images using the same file across all languages, with only the metadata (alt text, title, etc.) being translated.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket.

Problem: Wenn Sie versuchen, die Sprache auf Ihrer Website über den Sprachwechsler zu wechseln, tritt manchmal ein 404 Fehler auf. Dieses Problem erscheint sporadisch und es gibt keine Einträge im Debug Log. Solution: Überprüfen Sie die .htaccess-Datei auf Ihrem Server. Es könnte sein, dass die RedirectBase mit einem Sprachverzeichnis überschrieben wird, wenn das Problem auftritt. Wir empfehlen Ihnen, den in unserer FAQ beschriebenen Workaround anzuwenden: Warum wird htaccess mit dem Sprachverzeichnis auf meiner WPML-Website überschrieben?
