Problem: The client is unable to view the German home page translation on their live site, encountering a 'page not found' error, although the translation is visible in the admin area. Solution: We recommended the following troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the issue: 1. Ensure that the translation is fully completed. In some cases, incomplete translations can cause pages not to display correctly. 2. Perform a compatibility check by: - Creating a full website backup. - Disabling all plugins except for WPML and its add-ons. - Checking if the issue persists. - If the issue is resolved, reactivate other plugins one by one to identify the problematic plugin. - If the issue still occurs with only WPML active, switch to a default WordPress theme like TwentySeventeen to check if the theme is causing the issue. These steps should help in pinpointing whether the issue is due to a plugin or theme compatibility problem with WPML.

Solution: We cleared the "Object Cache" for the client, and this resolved the issue. If you're experiencing a similar problem, we recommend you clear your site's Object Cache.
