Problem: You are unable to save a page translation in Japanese language. When attempting to save, it results in a JSON error stating, 'Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.' Solution: 1. Check if the issue persists when you disable the WPML plugins and attempt to save the page with Japanese characters. 2. Verify if any third-party plugins might be influencing this behavior. 3. Ensure to back up your database before making any changes.

Problem: You are using WPML on your site and want to ensure that selected pages or posts are not indexed by Google after their translation is completed. However, you are unable to find a built-in feature in WPML that automatically sets pages or posts to noindex after translation. Solution: WPML does not directly control whether pages are indexed or not. Instead, it works alongside SEO plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math. To automatically set translated pages or posts to noindex, you will need to use these SEO plugins. We recommend using the WPML SEO add-on to enhance compatibility between WPML and SEO plugins. You can read more about WPML SEO here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-seo/ Additionally, if you have Yoast SEO or Rank Math SEO installed, you can translate meta tags and fields. For guidance on translating meta information with Yoast using WPML, visit: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/
