Problem: You are trying to configure the URL structure for translated pages on your site using WPML, aiming to retain the default language slug after the domain and language code. However, the translated page's slug changes to the translated language, resulting in URLs not maintaining the default language slug. Solution: Although WPML does not have a built-in option to keep the default language slug in translated URLs, you can achieve a similar result by following these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML → Settings → Page URL and set it to "Translate". 2. Manually set the slug in the translation editor to match the original. 3. Enable the option "Copy from original language if translation language uses encoded URLs". 4. Visit

Problem: The client is unable to save translations in WPML because the original content includes formatting markups, and the client is unable to apply similar markups in the translated text. Solution: 1. Ensure that the original text and the translated text have matching markers. If the original text includes specific markers, these need to be replicated in the translation. For guidance on setting markers, refer to WPML documentation on safe HTML editing. 2. Check if the URL field in the translation editor is locked or empty. Unlock the field and ensure it is not left empty as this can prevent saving. 3. If issues persist, providing WordPress admin credentials to the WPML support team can help in directly investigating and resolving the issue.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with translating featured fields headings like 'handover', 'property type', 'price', etc., or if the phone number in the footer is not displaying correctly, starting from right to left and altering the structure, we can help. Solution: For translating the featured fields headings, we recommend you navigate to WPML > String Translation. Here, search for the strings you need to translate, such as 'Price', and ensure you mark the checkbox for 'Exact match'. Once found, add your translations accordingly. We have successfully applied this for 'Price', and it should work similarly for other fields. Regarding the issue with the phone number formatting in the footer, this typically occurs due to right-to-left (RTL) text settings that might be affecting your theme or custom CSS. We suggest checking your theme's RTL settings or reviewing any custom CSS that might influence text direction. If these suggestions do not resolve your issue, it might be due to reasons that are either outdated or specific to your case.

Problem: The client reported that property listings were not appearing on the homepage or any other pages after translation. The featured properties were supposed to display in the website's header as a hero slider, but they were not showing up in the Arabic version.
Solution: 1) We identified that the URLs for the properties were translated before the URL settings were encoded. We edited the URL of the Arabic page to correct this.
2) We asked the client how they were setting the slider in the default language homepage and selecting what to show in the slider, to understand the setup better.
3) For taxonomy images, we set the custom field
fave_taxonomy_img
to copy from WPML > Settings > Custom Term Meta Translation. The client needed to resave the default language taxonomy for it to be saved/synced for translation. We performed a bulk update for the City images in Arabic to ensure they were synced.
