Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where the WPML translation editor was not displaying the latest version of the default language content for translation. Despite making updates to the default language content, the translation editor showed an older version. Additionally, there were concerns about Cloudflare and Rest API affecting content translation. Solution: We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Edit the content in the original language and make a small change. 2. Save the changes. 3. Navigate to WPML -> Translation Management, select the content, and send it for translation. 4. Go to WPML -> Translations and ensure the content is 100% translated. 5. If the issue persisted, we suggested checking the Rest API status and deactivating Cloudflare temporarily to see if it resolved the issue. 6. In cases where the problem continued, deleting the outdated translation and re-translating the page was advised. 7. We also discovered a database error which was fixed by our 2nd tier support team, resolving the translation issues.

Problem: You are trying to translate content on your site using WPML and received an error message stating: 'Someone is already reviewing this translation. Please try again later.' despite not reviewing the translation yourself. Solution: This error typically occurs when translations are assigned to someone else in WPML. First, check if you are the only user on the site set as a translator under WPML → Translation Management → Translators. If not, you can try resending the job from WPML > Translation Management. Go to the dashboard, select the job you want to review, and send it for translation again. This process should remove the "old" user set as a reviewer and enable you to translate the page this time. If the issue persists, consider canceling the translation jobs by navigating to WPML → Translation Management → Translators → Jobs. If you're still experiencing problems, please upload screenshots to illustrate the issue.

Problem: The client is migrating their website from an old WordPress environment using Elementor Builder to a new one using Oxygen Builder, and they are facing issues with importing content in multiple languages using the WPML import-export plugin. Additionally, they are encountering compatibility issues with the Oxygen Builder when translating pages. Solution: 1. Use the WPML Export & Import plugin for migrating content between environments. Ensure to use the same export and import method for consistency. Follow the detailed guide here: WPML Export & Import documentation. 2. For taxonomy issues during import, refer to: Reconnecting taxonomy translations. 3. If using Oxygen Builder, note that it is not fully compatible with WPML. Translations might need to be done manually using the WordPress Editor. Set Oxygen Templates in WPML settings to "Translatable - or fallback to default language if a translation is not available" to avoid issues. For more details, visit: Using different translation editors and Oxygen compatibility issues. 4. For specific template translation issues with Oxygen, consider the workaround provided by the Oxygen team: Oxygen template translation workaround.

Problem: The client is building a new website and wants to use WPML again but is facing issues with the site key not working on the new WordPress. They are also inquiring about transferring existing translations to the new website without additional costs. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with your site key on a new WordPress installation, it's important to note that site keys are domain-specific. You will need to generate a new site key for your new site. If you continue to face issues, we recommend contacting us with the site link for further assistance. Regarding the transfer of existing translations, translations cannot be transferred alone. You must transfer the default content along with their associated translations to ensure proper connection. You can use the default WordPress exporter/importer or WP All Export/Import tools. Additionally, make sure to use the WPML Export/Import addon on both sites. For more details, please refer to our guide: WPML Export and Import.

Problem: The client reported an intermittent issue where the toggle to change pricing from monthly to yearly breaks on the Spanish version of their page. This issue does not occur consistently but appears sporadically, making it difficult to diagnose. The client mentioned that all plugins are up to date according to their WordPress dashboard. Solution: We suggested that the issue might be related to a caching or performance optimization plugin, or a compatibility issue with WPML and another active plugin or theme. We recommended the following steps: 1. Create a full website backup. 2. Disable all plugins except for WPML and its add-ons. 3. Check if the issue still occurs. 4. If the issue does not occur, reactivate the plugins one by one to identify the problematic plugin. 5. If the issue persists with only WPML plugins active, switch to a default WordPress theme like TwentySeventeen and check again. We also advised performing these tests in a staging environment if possible and ensuring that all plugins, especially WPML, are updated to the latest versions by checking for updates in the 'Commercial' tab under 'Plugins > Add new'.
