Problem: The client has created a field with ACF called Tags, which is a taxonomy for tags matched to images attached to posts. Although these tags are translated, they are not displayed in the Italian version of the site.
Solution: We found that due to some custom coding the issue arises because when media is added in the default language and tagged, the tags are stored in the postmeta table. However, when switching to the secondary language and editing the media, the translated tags do not have a corresponding entry in the postmeta table. To resolve this, the client should edit the media in the secondary language, remove any pre-filled tags, and add them again to ensure the postmeta table is updated correctly for the secondary language.

Problem: The client reported that the banner image on their blog category page was not translated, despite being processed through the Media Translation plugin. This issue was specific to the blog category page, as translations worked correctly on other pages. Solution: We discovered that the issue occurred only on the category page and suggested a workaround. We recommended rearranging the blocks on the page: moving the column containing the image block above the column that has the WordPress Archive Output block. This change should allow the translated image to display correctly on the frontend.

Problem: The client is unable to translate the first horizontal timeline on their page using WPML because the Elementor Timeline Addons Plugin is not compatible with the WPML editor. Solution: We recommend adding the following custom XML configuration to WPML to make the Elementor widget translatable:
After adding this code, make a small change and re-translate the timeline. Additionally, we suggest sharing this solution with the plugin author and inviting them to join our GoGlobal program to enhance compatibility.

Problem: The client reported an issue where switching the menu to the Spanish version caused it to fail to load, displaying a continuously spinning icon. Solution: We discovered that the WPeMatico Plugin was interfering with WPML's functionality. We recommend deactivating all non-WPML plugins and switching to a standard WordPress theme to check if the issue persists. It's crucial to back up your database and website before making these changes. If the problem continues, please ensure you have upgraded the shared user to Network admin to allow further investigation.

Problem: If you're experiencing an error every time you try to activate WPML, it might be due to a compatibility issue with another plugin on your site. Solution: We recommend deactivating the "Share Buttons by AddThis" plugin and then trying to activate WPML again. This plugin is known to cause issues with WPML as it is not currently listed in our compatible plugins directory. If deactivating the plugin resolves the issue, you might consider contacting the plugin's author to encourage them to join our Go Global program where we help developers make their plugins compatible with WPML.

Problema: Il cliente ha riscontrato un problema con il plugin Vik Booking sul suo sito multilingua dopo un aggiornamento. Nonostante il sito sia impostato in italiano come lingua predefinita, quando si naviga dalla pagina delle camere in italiano a una pagina dettagliata di una camera specifica, la pagina si apre in inglese. Soluzione: Abbiamo suggerito al cliente di provare a cambiare l'impostazione in WPML per utilizzare il parametro URL per la lingua anziché la directory. Questo si può fare accedendo a WPML > Lingue. Inoltre, abbiamo consigliato a Vik Booking di unirsi al nostro programma GoGlobal per ricevere assistenza diretta e garantire la compatibilità con WPML.

Problem: You are using the Timeline Block For Gutenberg to present timelines on your site. When translating the page, everything including dates can be translated, but the dates still appear in French on the English page. This issue arises because the date is not from the core blocks and is not supported for string translation. Solution: We recommend using a custom XML configuration code to register the date for translation. After translating, the date should display correctly in the frontend. Here is an example code:
