Problem: The client is preparing for the launch of their site and during WCAG testing, discovered that the language selector does not contain aria-labels or titles. Despite these attributes being set in the Twig templates for both legacy dropdown and legacy dropdown on click, they are not present in the rendered markup. Solution: We recommend converting the custom language switcher from a .twig template to a PHP-based implementation, as Twig will be removed entirely from WPML in future releases. Regarding the missing aria-labels, this issue has been reported to our development team, and it will be improved. However, we cannot guarantee a specific timeline for this fix.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your particular case.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue with WPML's address detection on a Pantheon hosted WordPress site. WPML keeps indicating a change in the site's address, which is preventing further development. The root cause was identified as the domain setup in Pantheon and the Kadence plugin's license records. Solution: To resolve this, follow these steps: 1. Ensure your domain is set up and active on Pantheon before installing WordPress or any plugins. 2. Use Terminus to change your primary domain on Pantheon before installing any plugins. 3. If WPML or other plugins have already been installed, manually remove any Pantheon domain entries from plugin license records. 4. Perform a global search-replace using Terminus and WP-CLI to remove any remaining Pantheon domain references. 5. If you have added your sitekey in the wp-config.php file, remove it. 6. Go to https://wpml.org/account/sites, remove the website from the list, and then add it again to copy the newly generated key. 7. In your website's admin panel, go to Plugins > Add New > Commercial Tab and click on "Unregister WPML from this site". 8. Register the website again with the newly copied key.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
