Problem: The client reported that on their Dutch (NL) page, translations were not appearing, and the 'Load More' button was not functioning, whereas these features were working correctly on the English version of the site. Solution: We first confirmed that all plugins, especially WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce, were updated. We then requested the client to create a staging site using the WP Staging plugin to avoid affecting the live site. After further investigation by our 2nd-tier support specialists, it was discovered that custom code in the functions.php file of the child theme might be causing the issue. We set up a sandbox site and asked the client to install the parent theme, Ekko, to continue with the troubleshooting.

Problem: The client is unable to see products in the translated categories despite translating the category from the default to another language. The categories appear empty. Solution: First, ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest versions. This includes WPML Multilingual CMS, WPML SEO, Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual, WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce, and WPML String Translation.
If updating does not resolve the issue, follow these steps: 1. Go to a product in the default language, edit it, and update. 2. Access the translation editor for the product and update it in the translated language. This should place the product correctly in the translated category.
If you have multiple products and languages, consider these bulk actions: - Use the WPML Translation Dashboard to filter by products, select all, and send for automatic translation. This will incur a small credit cost. - Alternatively, use the bulk select and quick edit options under Products to update multiple products at once.
These steps should help in ensuring that products appear correctly in their respective translated categories.

Problem: The client is experiencing slow translation processes in their web shop while using WPML to translate from English to Dutch, German, and French. Despite 15 days of effort, 11,000 translations remain in the queue, and some previously completed pages are still showing as in process. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address the issue: 1. Deactivate the 'Translate Everything' option by clicking the Pause button in WPML > Translation Management. 2. Temporarily deactivate other languages, keeping only two active. This can be done in WPML > Languages > Add/Remove Languages by unchecking the extra languages. 3. Select some content from WPML > Translation Management and send it to translation as a test. For more detailed guidance, visit Translating Your Contents.
