Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating WooCommerce products from Dutch to English and German using WPML and Elementor. The product content fields remain in Dutch in both the English and German versions, and there are URL mismatches and visibility issues in the product overview pages.
Solution: 1. Navigate to
WPML > Support > Troubleshooting
. 2. In the 'Cleanup' section, select "Products" from the dropdown menu. 3. Click the "Synchronize Post Taxonomies" button. 4. Ensure that the product translations are updated by editing the product in the default language, navigating to the Advanced Translation Editor via the gear icon under the Language block, and confirming the translation is 100% complete. 5. For untranslated content, go to
WPML -> Translation Management -> Docs section
, select the posts, and send them for translation. 6. If issues persist, especially with errors related to third-party plugins, consider creating a staging site for further testing.

Problem: The client is using Betterdocs to create FAQs and has translated them into English and German using WPML. However, the links within these translated documents are not updating to the translated language, specifically links going to Elementor Landing Pages. Solution: We recommend the following steps to ensure that links in the translated documents update correctly: 1. Instead of linking directly to the Elementor template, create a page that uses this template. 2. Translate this new page into the required languages. 3. In your Betterdocs document, replace the link to the template with a link to the newly created page. 4. Update the translation of the Betterdocs document. 5. Navigate to WPML > Settings and select 'Translate link targets' to apply the changes. After completing these steps, please test the links again. Remember, the translation of internal links works for pages but might not apply directly to templates.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with untranslated button texts on their German site, specifically within the Elementor header template. Solution: First, ensure that the header template containing the buttons is translated into German. You can follow this guide to translate the Elementor templates. After translating the header, the button texts should appear in German.
For texts within Elementor widgets, WPML supports all default Elementor widgets. Ensure that you have completed the translations for these widgets. If you are using third-party widgets and their content is not translating, you may need to manually register these widgets for translation. You can do this by following this guide.

Problem: The client was experiencing issues with the German translations of product pages on their website. The main problems included the first text appearing in English, the title of the second part appearing in Dutch, and a section at the end not displaying other products correctly. Solution: We logged into the client's site and inspected the translated pages. The issues were primarily due to the dynamic fields in Elementor pulling information from the English product. We edited the German product in the Elementor editor and selected the correct German product in the dynamic field to resolve the description issue. For the text 'Stralingsbronnen', it can be translated using the translation editor. To address the issue of missing products at the bottom of the page, the client needs to translate the remaining products and adjust the product query in the German version of the page from the Elementor editor. Additionally, if the client encounters issues with selecting the right product in the 'Produkt Inhalt' field, it may be due to caching. Clearing the site and browser cache should resolve this. If the problem persists, synchronizing the products via 'WPML > Support > Troubleshooting' might help.
