Problem: The client is unable to translate the 'televisie diagonaal' and other Dutch texts in an HTML table on their webpage using WPML. The texts are not automatically translated nor locatable through the string translation option. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend using the manual translation mode for the specific page where the table is located. You can find detailed instructions here: Using different translation editors for different pages.
Alternatively, you can add a shortcode in the
functions.php
file of your theme to include the HTML table content. Each text should be exposed for translation. After implementing the shortcode, scan the theme in WPML > Themes and plugins Localization menu. The strings will then be available in WPML > String translation. For more details on using gettext, visit: How to use gettext.

Problem: The client is experiencing multiple issues with the translation of menus and footers on their WordPress site using WPML. Specific problems include incorrect display of internal links, untranslated footer, menu items linking to wrong language pages, untranslated text in the slide-in menu, missing flags in the mobile menu, and untranslated buttons. Solution: 1. To translate the footer, navigate to Global Sections and click the pencil icon under each language to add the translated content. 2. For translating menu items, access Appearance -> Menus, find the menu called SaaS Pull Right - Pools, use the admin language switcher to change languages, or click the pencil icon next to the secondary languages to edit and translate the menu item label. 3. To translate specific strings, go to WPML -> String Translation and search for the string "Privecursus is onderdeel van Rijbewijsmarketing.". Translate the strings as needed. 4. To add a menu language switcher to the Off Canvas menu, navigate to WPML -> Languages, click to add the menu language switcher, and select the Off Canvas menu. 5. For correcting links, open the translation of the page using the WPML translation editor, type 'http' in the search, locate the URL, and add the correct translation.

Problem: The client was unable to translate a button labeled 'GRATIS ADVIES', USPs in a white bar, and footer links to PDFs in different languages using WPML. Additionally, the client needed help with translating menu items and ensuring the correct links appeared in translated versions of the site.
2. For translating the footer links to different language PDFs and ensuring correct links in the footer, the client was advised to translate the header and footer templates directly in the WordPress admin area. Specific links to these templates were provided for direct access.
3. To manage and translate menu items in different languages, the client was directed to use the Appearance -> Menus section of WordPress and select the appropriate language for translation. Additional guidance was provided through a detailed guide on translating menus: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/ and a video tutorial.

Problem: You are trying to auto-translate your homepage using WPML, but the translation progress is stuck at 0% for over 24 hours. Solution: We found that the issue was due to an unclosed
<br>
tag in the form email content. We resolved this by adding the missing opening
<br>
tag. Please verify if the auto-translation is now functioning correctly on your end.
