Problem: The client was unable to translate a single menu point using WPML's string translations feature. Despite translating the string "About us", it still displayed in English on the Dutch version of the website. Solution: We advised the client to create separate menus for each language as per our guide on translating menus. Additionally, we recommended increasing the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB, which can be done by adding the following line to the wp-config.php file:
After these adjustments, the entire menu needed to be translated, not just the single menu item. Once the menu was fully translated, the issue was resolved.

Problem: If you're using WPML with WordPress, Elementor, and the Elementor Pro Form widget, and you notice that when translating a form's dropdown field into Italian, the options appear incorrectly as a single string instead of separate lines, resulting in a broken dropdown. Solution: We are aware of this issue and it has been escalated to our developers. A fix is planned for a future release of WPML. You can track updates on this issue by visiting the errata page: Elementor Form Widget Select Field Breaks When Translated with CTE. In the meantime, we recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). If you prefer not to use ATE, you can opt for a manual translation approach. For guidance on using different translation editors, please visit: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
