Problem:
You are using WPML to translate your website into multiple languages and have enabled the 'Different languages in directories' option. You want to customize these URLs to follow a format like http://www.site.com/locations/spain/ for each language, with a unique location-based directory for each language.
Solution:
Customizing existing URLs to the desired format directly is not feasible. However, we recommend creating custom languages, naming the language code as "spain" and attempting to include the /locations/ segment in your WordPress settings. For guidance on adding custom languages, please refer to our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/#add-custom-languages

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where editing an original link field from '/contact/' to '/shop/' causes the translated link field to change to '/shop/' instead of 'en/shop/' because it is set to 'Copy', we have a solution for you.
Solution:
We recommend setting the field configuration to 'translate' instead of 'copy' or 'copy once'. This adjustment will make the field value available in the WPML Translation Editor, allowing you to manually translate the link. Additionally, for automatic adjustment of internal links, you might want to test using the

wpml_permalink

hook when calling the links inside your theme's template files. You can find more details on this workaround here.
However, if you are using a page builder to display the fields on the frontend, this workaround might not be applicable.
It would also be very helpful if you could send us the WPML debugging information to better assist you. More information on how to provide this can be found here.

Problem:
The client updated their website in various places over time but did not run WPML, suspecting that there is content that remains untranslated in various unknown places on their site.
Solution:
If WPML was active on the site while the client changed the original contents, WPML will keep track of any changes and know which segments need to be updated. The Advanced Translation Editor includes a translation memory, ensuring that identical segments previously translated will not incur double charges due to auto-completion. For more details, visit how WPML keeps track of your translations.
To translate new content, go to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard, select the post type from the dropdown on the top left, mark what you would like to translate, and at the bottom section choose "Translate automatically".

Problem:
The client has installed the WPML plugin and wants to use it only on specific pages like blogs and downloads for automatic translation to Polish and Swedish, but is unable to find documentation on how to apply the plugin selectively.
Solution:
We recommend setting the translation mode to 'Translate What You Choose' instead of 'Translate Everything Automatically'. This can be done by navigating to WPML > Settings > Translation Mode. After setting this, you can manage how each page is translated by going to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard. Here, you can either send pages for automatic translation or assign them to translators or yourself using the Advanced Translation Editor. For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on WPML Translation Management.
