Problem: The client is experiencing issues with partially untranslated WooCommerce emails in Spanish, despite having translations available in the String Translation. The client updated WPML and modified the TranslateWpmlString.php file, but the issue persisted. Solution: 1. We recommended updating the WPML plugins and add-ons to the latest version, specifically to version 4.7.2, to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements. Instructions for updating can be found at http://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/. 2. We suggested applying a workaround for a known issue related to WooCommerce order update emails containing mixed language texts, which can be found at https://wpml.org/errata/wc-order-update-emails-may-contain-mixed-language-texts/. 3. After applying the workaround, it is crucial to double-check that all strings are correctly translated in the String Translation. 4. If the issue persists, we advised creating a staging site and performing a step-by-step isolation test by deactivating and reactivating plugins and themes to identify the culprit. 5. As a last resort, downgrading the WPML plugins by manually uploading the plugin folders or restoring a backup with a previous version was suggested.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with strings not translating unless the 'AUTO REGISTER STRINGS FOR TRANSLATION' is enabled. When this option is disabled, the strings do not translate. Solution: The issue stems from the Give Plugin not loading its text domain correctly, which prevents WPML from translating the strings. This problem is due to changes in how text domains are loaded in the latest major WordPress release. We recommend contacting the Give Support Team to inquire if they are aware of this issue and to check if an update is planned to resolve it.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with product translations being automatically duplicated and published when you duplicate the original product using the WooCommerce duplication option. Solution: We recommend using a different plugin that handles the duplication process without affecting other languages. Specifically, you can try using the Duplicate Page or Duplicate Post plugins. These plugins provide more control over the duplication process and should prevent automatic duplication across different languages.

Problem: The client reported that the featured image and attribute images were not displaying on the translated version of a WooCommerce product, although they appeared correctly in the original version.
Solution: We identified two separate issues causing the image display problems:
1) For the product images: - Open the product for editing in the default language. - Switch to Croatian from the top admin bar to load the translation within the WordPress editor. - Add or update the product images (featured and gallery) and then update.
2) For the variation images:
- First, we adjusted a setting in WPML -> Settings -> Custom Term Meta Translation for the field "st-image-swatch" from 'don't translate' to 'Copy'.
- Navigate to Products -> Attributes in the default language. - Click "Configure terms" for the attribute "Barva". - After loading the terms, switch to Croatian from the top admin bar. - Click "Quick edit" for a term missing the image. - Simply click "Update Barva" without making any changes to the term. Repeat the last two steps for each term needing this fix.

Problem: The client reported an issue with the Croatian version of a WooCommerce product page showing an ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error and having a URL with double slashes. Additionally, the featured image and attribute images were not displaying on the translated product page.
Solution: We advised the client to first take a full backup of their site and database. The steps included: 1) Checking in String Translation for the problematic URL and correcting it for the Croatian translation. We also suggested running the process to scan and auto-adjust links under WPML -> Settings -> Translate link targets. 2) Deactivating all plugins except for WPML, String Translation, WooCommerce, and WCML to check if the issue persists. 3) Switching to a standard theme like 2024 or 2021 to rule out theme-related issues. 4) Re-activating plugins one by one to identify any conflicts, and then switching back to the original theme to check for issues.
Alternatively, client found that plugin SEO press was causing the url to look like this, resetting the plugin fixed the issue.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with untranslated strings in the cart and checkout sections of their WooCommerce site after updates, despite using WPML's string translation features. Solution: We replicated the client's site in a local environment to investigate the issue. It was found that the untranslated strings are part of the WooCommerce blocks, dynamically served and not standard translatable strings in the database. After further investigation, it was determined that these strings are added through JavaScript, which WPML does not natively support for scanning and translating. We recommend using the "Loco Translate" plugin as a workaround to handle these translations. This plugin can be used alongside WPML to translate strings that are managed through JavaScript within blocks.

Problem: In the Spanish version of a multilingual webshop, the client is unable to set display conditions in Elementor for the Spanish category 'JUEGO TABLAS'. Despite the taxonomy hierarchy being synchronized, only Slovenian categories are available for selection. Solution: We discovered that the issue was due to the use of an outdated 'Products' widget in Elementor, which was deprecated since version 4.1.3. We recommended switching to the 'Products Grid' widget. After making this change, the client should verify if the translated archive displays correctly by checking the front end.

Problem: The client is unable to see the URL ACF field for translation on their website. Solution: We identified that the URL type field was set to 'Copy' under the 'Same fields across languages' option in the ACF groups. To enable translation for this field, the client needs to switch the translation option of the 'Dodatno mize' field group to 'Expert' mode. For more details on default settings and how to switch to Expert mode, please refer to the following documentation links:
