Problem: If you're experiencing issues with WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) such as receiving errors like 'Unable to retrieve job details' and 'finalCallback.incompleteResponse' after trashing an incorrectly assigned post and its translation, and then creating a new post with the same title and content in the correct language. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Ensure that you have deleted the trashed post completely. 2. Visit WPML > Support > Troubleshooting and run the options to remove ghost entries and cancel in-progress automatic jobs. 3. If the issue persists, try duplicating the post to give it a different job ID and attempt the translation again. 4. If none of the above resolves the issue, it may be necessary to escalate this to our second-tier support or perform further debugging.

Problem: The client is unable to complete the translation of a page because the progress bar in the WPML translation editor remains at 99%, even though all content appears to be translated. The issue persists even after updating plugins. Solution: We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Ensure that all WPML plugins and add-ons are updated to the latest version, specifically version 4.6.14. You can check for the latest versions under My Account -> Downloads on the WPML site. 2. Modify the original page slightly, save it, and then navigate to the WPML translation editor to complete the translation. 3. If the issue persists, try switching to the previous version of the translation editor to check for any untranslated content. To do this: - Open the translation editor. - Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and enable the "Use Previous Translation Editor" option. Complete any untranslated sections and save the changes.

Problem: When accessing the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) to translate pages, it automatically translates them even though it was set not to. Additionally, the version of ATE that opens is random, sometimes the old version and other times the new one. Solution: First, we recommend creating a short screencast to illustrate the issue as it helps in diagnosing the problem more accurately. Next, please temporarily deactivate all plugins except WPML on your dashboard. This step is crucial to ensure that no other plugin is affecting this behavior. We have also recently updated ATE, which might have resolved the issue if it was related to the version updates.
If the problem persists, it might be due to reasons that are no longer relevant or because the situation described doesn't 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. If none of these solutions work, please open a new support ticket.
