Problem: If you have fully translated a page in WPML but the gear icon still appears indicating 'Translation assigned to local translator', even though the translation is 100%, this might be due to server configuration limits. Solution: First, check the 'MaxInputVars' PHP configuration on your server. It should be set to at least 1218, but your current setting is 1000. Contact your hosting provider to increase this value to at least 2000. Additionally, increase the WP MEMORY LIMIT to enhance performance. You can do this by editing the
wp-config.php
file located in your WordPress root directory. Add the following line:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
Place it just before the comment:
// That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.
If you're unable to make these changes yourself, we recommend contacting your hosting provider to adjust these settings.

Problem: You are developing a bilingual site and have a custom post type called 'portfolio'. While the taxonomy names display correctly in French, they appear in French instead of English on the English page, despite having translations set in WPML. Solution: First, ensure that you have translated the taxonomy slug or label via WPML > String Translation. Use the filter hook
wpml_translate_single_string
to retrieve the translated string. Here's how you can implement it:
For more details, follow this documentation: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_translate_single_string If you prefer using SQL queries, you can fetch the translated name directly from the database using the following query:
SELECT st.value AS translated_text
FROM wp_icl_strings s
JOIN wp_icl_string_translations st ON s.id = st.string_id
WHERE s.context = 'WordPress' -- string domain
AND s.value = 'category'
AND st.language = 'fr'
AND st.status = 10; -- completed status
Please test this on your staging site before applying it to your production site.
