Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where changes or additions to the layout of the default language page are not displayed on the front end after translating with the WPML Translation Editor. The ACF Flexible Content field is set to 'Copy once' and on 'Expert' option. Solution: We recommend setting the ACF Flexible Content field to 'Copy' instead of 'Copy once' when using the WPML Translation Editor to ensure that the layout changes are properly carried over to the translations. For more detailed guidance on setting the correct custom fields translation preferences for ACF and WPML, please refer to our documentation:
Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where the first field in the WPML Translation Editor shows as green and translated but turns yellow and requires verification every time to complete the translation and reach 100%, we can explain why this is happening. Solution: The yellow band in the WPML Translation Editor indicates that the translation for a word or sentence was initially loaded from the translation memory. If the original text has been changed, the translation memory won't recognize the new content, and the yellow band will appear to signal that the translation needs to be updated. Additionally, if the field is loading dynamic content, any new or modified text will cause the yellow band to appear as a prompt for updating the translation. To ensure the translated text is displayed correctly, it's necessary to complete the translation after any modifications to the original content. If this solution doesn't seem relevant to your situation, please don't hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.
Problem:
The client is making a change to the default language widget and is confused why he has to update/add translation each time.
Solution:
Each time you make a change to the default language widget it is expected that you also need to add/update the translation of the widget via WPML String translation to keep the content in sync.
Otherwise, you can manually create different widgets per language.
