Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Our second-tier supporter has let me know that our developers are already working on WPML compatibility with PHP 8.4. Among other things, those deprecation notices will also be handled. It will be included in future versions of WPML. We'll keep you updated when the version with the fix is released. Unfurtunatly I can't provide an ETA for when it will be released. I appreciate your patience. Itamar.

Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Thanks for pointing out the state of Supported PHP Versions as they appear on the PHP official website. We are operating within the WordPress ecosystem, and PHP 8.4 is still in beta support. You can see it here https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/. Please also see the attached screenshot. In any case, I can see from our tracking of this case that the support for PHP 8.4 will be included in the next WPML version 4.9.3. This should be released soon. I'll keep you updated here. I appreciate your patience. Itamar.
