Problem: The client was trying to set up a multicurrency site with euro and Serbian dinar but encountered an issue where the currency switcher was not displaying correctly on the Serbian version of the site. Instead of the switcher, a shortcode was visible. The client had already ruled out plugin conflicts by deactivating all plugins except WPML and WooCommerce.
Solution: We accessed the client's website and deleted the translation for the "%code%" strings in the WPML String Translation, as these should not be translated because they are variables, often indicated by the % symbol. After this adjustment, the currency switcher appeared correctly on the provided page.
If you're experiencing a similar issue with the currency switcher on your multilingual site, we recommend checking the WPML String Translation for any translated variables (especially those containing the % symbol) and removing those translations. Variables should not be translated as they are placeholders for dynamic content.

Problem: The client was experiencing issues with WooCommerce products not displaying after translating them using WPML. The translated product pages were blank. Solution: We identified that the problem was due to a string that had been translated with variables, which caused a fatal error in WordPress. To resolve this, we recommended the following steps: 1. Navigate to WPML > String Translation; 2. Search for the "You must be" string; 3. Edit its translation and remove the variables, ensuring the final result matches the provided screenshot.
After following these steps, the website should function correctly.
