Problem: The client needs to delete a translation of a Layout in WPML that was not correctly copied over in Elementor, and they wish to start over. Solution: We recommended the client to navigate to their WordPress dashboard, specifically to the Layout section. From there, they should locate the translation they wish to delete under the specified language, hover over it, and select the option to delete. After deleting, it is also necessary to remove it from the trash tab to completely clear it. This process will allow the client to start fresh with the translation.

Problem: The client needed to redirect all pages, products, and other content from a deleted language (e.g., /deletedlanguage/) to the default language homepage.

*The "deletedlanguage" should be replaced with the actual language prefix that was deleted. *We also advised the client to ensure they have a full backup of their website before making any changes to the .htaccess file.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translations not being visible when switching between editing in the WordPress Editor and the WPML Translation Editor. They are working with four languages and are unsure if they can use both editors simultaneously and whether they can make design changes in Elementor. Solution: We explained that it is expected behavior that you cannot use both the WPML Translation Editor and the WordPress Editor at the same time for translating content. When you choose a translation method in the WordPress Editor's sidebar under "Languages", you must stick to that method. If you edit translated content in the WordPress Editor after using the WPML Translation Editor, those changes will be overwritten the next time you use the WPML Translation Editor. For manual translations using the WordPress Editor, we provided a guide:
