Problem: The client was unable to assign the Dutch language to the Support Language 'Dutch' in WPML and received an error stating that the standard language must be linked to a supported language for automatic translation. Solution: We found that all translation engines were disabled under WPML > Settings > Automatic Translation. We enabled them, and the issue was resolved. If you're experiencing this, we recommend checking the Automatic Translation settings and ensuring that the necessary options are enabled. If you prefer not to use automatic translation, you can manually trigger translations as needed. There is also an Undo button to remove automatic translations if required.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where non-existent translations still appear in the WPML String Translations list under Yoast SEO, this might be due to these strings not being deleted from the database. Solution: We recommend checking the WPML-> String Translations-> Admin Texts screen to see if the strings are still present there. If they are, it indicates that Yoast SEO has not removed these strings from the database, and they will continue to appear in the list. This behavior is expected if the strings are still listed in your _options table, as WPML displays all strings that are present in this table.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where changes made to content in one language are incorrectly reflecting in another language, despite using Elementor and WPML. This synchronization error prevents maintaining distinct content for different languages. Solution: 1. Ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest version. Instructions for updating can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/ 2. After updating, apply the workaround described on the WPML errata page: https://wpml.org/errata/wordpress-6-7-mo-files-not-loaded-and-leading-to-missing-translations-on-front-end/ 3. Edit the content in the original language and use the 'WordPress Editor' to ensure changes only apply to the intended language. This can be done by selecting the scope of the changes to apply only to that particular post or page. 4. Make a small change in the original language, save these changes, and then update the translation.

Problem: You are using manual translation to translate the list view in the footer to French URLs, but the last 2 URLs are not showing up after translation. Solution: We recommend checking if you have used the Advanced Translation Editor, as internal links typically do not appear in the WPML Translation Editor. You can learn more about the features of the Advanced Translation Editor here: Advanced Translation Editor Documentation. Additionally, try searching for "http" in the top left search bar of the Advanced Translation Editor to locate the missing links.

Problem: The client has implemented custom post types 'webshop-local' and 'website-local' for different local cities and has set up URL rewriting rules to render pages based on these post types. However, after making the site multilingual with WPML, the URL rewriting is not functioning as expected, leading to 404 errors. Solution: We recommend using the
wpml_object_id
hook to ensure that the URLs are correctly rewritten for each language. This hook allows you to adjust the URLs based on the current language set by WPML. You can find more information and examples on how to implement this in our documentation:
