Problem: The client is trying to translate the CartFlows plugin using WPML, including URLs, checkout pages, and fields, but faces issues with Elementor not loading and certain elements not translating correctly. Solution: 1. Create a CartFlow in the Original Language: Build your CartFlow as usual in the default language. 2. Set Post Types as Translatable: Go to WPML > Settings > Post Types and set cartflows_step and cartflows_flow to translatable. 3. Duplicate the CartFlow for Translation: Use WPML's duplicate feature to create a copy in the secondary language. More details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/ 4. Translate Independently: Edit the duplicated CartFlow using the WordPress Standard Editor. In the Language box, click Translate independently. More details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ 5. Clone Each Step: Use CartFlows' "Clone Step" feature for each step in the flow. Instructions here: https://cartflows.com/docs/clone-flow-step-in-cartflows/ 6. Delete Original Steps and Save Translations: Save the translated texts locally, delete the original steps, and then copy the translated texts back into the appropriate fields. 7. Edit and Update Steps: Update titles and links for each step, then save the changes.

Problem: The client reported that variable products translated into Spanish using WPML were showing as out of stock, despite previous solutions that involved updating products in the original language and then re-saving them after minor edits.
Solution: We recommended the following steps to address the issue: 1. Navigate to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Attributes tab. 2. Select the attribute from which the variations were created. 3. Click the button at the bottom to synchronize the attributes. 4. Go to the Status tab and click on Troubleshooting. 5. Select the options shown in this screenshot (https://prnt.sc/oKKMHMZPhIWT) and start the synchronization. 6. If the '_stock' field is set to 'not translatable' in WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation, change it to 'Copy'. 7. Clear site and browser caches.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we suggested a deeper investigation which might require temporary admin access to the site for further troubleshooting.

Problem: The client has a custom post type called Projects, and the images are not syncing across translations. Solution: 1. Verify if the images are added through a custom field. If so, ensure the custom field is set to "copy" in the translation settings. 2. If the images are not added through a custom field, navigate to WPML->Settings->Media Translation and run the function that duplicates or translates images to other languages. 3. If the issue persists, check the widget, block, or custom field used for these images. Since they are set through Elementor, without backend access, further specific guidance cannot be provided. 4. Change the translation preference of the custom fields to "copy" using the Expert mode. Then, make a small edit to the content of the project so WPML can detect the changes and retranslate, which will copy those fields in other languages.

Problem: You are trying to translate a shipping method on your site, but the string doesn't appear translated. Solution: First, ensure that there might be another instance of the same string under a different domain. We recommend you go to WPML > String Translation. At the bottom, check the box labeled "Look for strings while pages are rendered" and then visit the shipping page where the string is displayed. After this, return to the string translation page to see if another instance of this string has loaded. If you do not find it, proceed to Translate texts in admin screens and search for the string there. For more detailed guidance, you can visit our FAQ on this topic at https://wpml.org/faq/why-arent-my-translated-strings-showing-up-on-the-front-end-of-my-site/ If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be due to an incompatible string which would require further debugging.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues translating product information with nested HTML tags in WPML, and find that your translations are not saving, it might be due to incorrect HTML formatting in the editor. Solution: First, ensure that all nested tags in your original content are correctly opened and closed. Here's how you can check and correct the formatting:
<code><br /><img src="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Descriptive text for the image"><br /></code>
After correcting the original content, apply the same formatting to the translation: 1. Select the text and click the Marker icon to format it (screenshot: https://prnt.sc/Verip2kUFWOl). 2. If the translation still doesn't save, delete the translation for that specific segment. 3. Copy the original content into the translation to ensure all tags are accurately copied. 4. Translate the text within the tags, ensuring not to edit or remove the tags themselves.
