Problem: The client needed to ensure that changes to the original page are automatically transferred to the translated pages and wanted to be notified in WPML when translated pages need to be reviewed for translation.
Solution: We advised the client to use only one method for editing content: either the WPML Translation Editor or the WordPress editor, but not both simultaneously, as this can lead to issues. Specifically, if using the WordPress editor, it's important to switch to this option by clicking "WordPress Editor" in the language column, which disables the WPML Translation Editor.
For the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) settings, the client should set the fields either to 'Copy' or 'Translate' depending on the desired behavior. This adjustment is crucial for ensuring that layout fields are copied and text fields are translated as intended. This can be done under ACF > Field Groups by selecting "ACF tabs blocks" and setting the translation options for each field.
Additionally, we noted that custom CSS might not work across languages and recommended adding the CSS in Appearance > Customizer > Custom CSS to ensure it is recognized in all languages.
If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems outdated, or if it does not apply to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
