Problem: The client has a website originally in English, translated to Dutch using WPML. After making layout changes in the Dutch version, these changes are not reflected in the English version. The issues include old images showing and SVGs not being copied across versions. Solution: The problem was that some settings in the combination with ACF and the Kadence theme were not adjusted properly. For more details please read the documentation about translation preference for ACF custom fields.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the language switcher does not work for a specific language, such as German, and navigating from the Dutch homepage to the German homepage results in a 404 'nothing found' error, while the direct URL (e.g., https://hpstaal.nl/de/home) loads fine, the problem might be related to your WordPress reading settings. Solution: We recommend checking your WordPress reading settings. Specifically, ensure that 'Your homepage displays' is set to show a static page instead of 'Your latest posts'. You can find this setting under WordPress Reading Settings. Set it to display the 'Home' page as the static page.

Problem: The client needs to make strings within a custom HTML email template used in GravityForms translatable in WPML. The client is also struggling with targeting the right text-domain for each form without needing to target each form individually.
Solution: To make the HTML email template translatable, the client should use PHP to wrap the strings in a GetText call. Here is an example of how to do this:
<?php __('Hello, world!', 'your-text-domain'); ?>
To display the string, use:
<?php _e('Hello, world!', 'your-text-domain'); ?>
It is crucial to include the 'text-domain' as the second argument in these functions. For more details on how to make your theme compatible with WPML, visit Translating the Theme You Created.
