Problem: When using WooCommerce with the PluginHive 'Multi-Carrier Shipping Method for WooCommerce' plugin and WPML, USPS international shipping methods are not offered for customers with international shipping addresses selecting the Spanish language. This issue arises because the translation of the country name includes accents, such as g 'Canada' to 'Canadá', leading to an invalid country name error (error code -2147218046) from USPS. Solution: The issue primarily stems from the PluginHive plugin rather than WPML, as similar issues would occur in a Spanish WooCommerce setup without WPML. The PluginHive developers are aware and plan to address this in their next release. If immediate resolution is necessary, consider implementing custom code using the
wpml_switch_language
hook to ensure the correct country name is used in API requests.

Problem: The client needed to fix the positioning of the WPML Language Switcher on the Login Page when using the BuddyBoss Theme. The issue was that the switcher was not clickable and was not properly aligned over the login form. Solution: We recommended adjusting the CSS properties of the WPML Language Switcher to ensure it appears correctly and is functional. Here are the steps we suggested: 1. Set a higher z-index for the language switcher to ensure it appears on top of other elements. 2. Add
margin-left: 50%;
to center the switcher over the form. 3. Apply
position: relative;
to the switcher div to make the z-index effective. Here is the final CSS code to add:

Problem: The client is trying to translate the string "Sign up" in the buddyboss-theme domain but cannot find it in the WPML String Translation panel.
Solution: 1) We recommend checking the WPML>>String Translation section and clicking on the Translate texts in admin screens » link at the bottom of the page. Search for the missing string in the Admin Texts Translation screen to see if it's listed and add it for translation if found.
2) If the string is still not available for translation, we suggest making a site backup and then enabling the Look for strings while pages are rendered option in the Auto register strings for translation section at the bottom of the WPML>>String Translation page. Afterward, visit the frontend pages to see if the issue persists. This option will automatically disable after a few hours but can help identify the problem in similar cases.
Additionally, we advise increasing the MaxInputVars of PHP settings to 10000 for better site performance. For more details on how to do this, please consult the following article: Setting the MaxInputVars directive in an .htaccess file.
Problem:
Client is attempting to redirect users to the appropriate language-specific login page when clicking "Login" in the Header Navigation Menu of the BuddyBoss theme. The default login URL always points to wp-login.php and does not account for different languages.
Solution:
We recommend saving the current language to a variable using the wpml_current_language hook, which returns the language code of the active language. Then, set conditions for each language to change the returned URL accordingly.
// Get the current language code
$current_language = apply_filters('wpml_current_language', null);
// Check if the current language is English
if ($current_language == 'en') {
// Redirect to the English login page
} else {
// Redirect to the login page of other languages
}

Problem:
I am trying to show an Elementor Template on secondary language custom product taxonomies like it works for native product categories and tags. While the English version displays correctly, the Spanish version doesn't. I have followed the documentation on WPML and ensured settings are as recommended. A video link is provided to demonstrate the issue.
