Problem: The client's editor cannot edit content in the English language, although they can edit the default language (German).
Solution: We recommend checking if the editor is assigned as a translator for the English language by going to WPML > Translation Management > Translators. Here, you can define the language pairs for the user. For more information, please refer to this documentation: How to Set Up Local Translators and Language Pairs.
Another potential issue could be that the content is in the translation basket, which holds content pending translation. If necessary, clear the basket and attempt to edit again. For guidance on this, see: Translating Your Contents.
We suggest using the manual translation option as the best approach for your situation. If this solution does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.
Problem: 1) A client created a new WordPress user with the editor role, but the user cannot edit content in languages other than the default language (DE). 2) The client wants to know if it's possible to edit content using the WordPress editor instead of the WPML translation editor. 3) The client inquires about the process of changing the WPML license from a dev site to a production site with a different domain.
Solution: 1) To allow the editor to edit content in other languages, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary language permissions. Check the WPML language management settings and assign the appropriate permissions to the user. 2) To use the WordPress editor for translations instead of the WPML translation editors, you can select the manual translation option. Each user who needs to translate content should follow the steps outlined in the documentation. 3) When you're ready to move your site from development to production on a different domain, update the WPML license accordingly. There are no additional steps mentioned for this process.
