Problem: The client is experiencing duplicated content on product detail pages when WPML is disabled. This issue persists even after disabling the Elementor Pro template and creating a new product detail page template. Solution: We identified that the duplication occurs because the underlying database query retrieves multiple products that share the same slug. This is not specific to WPML; it also happens without WPML if multiple products have identical slugs. To resolve this, the client needs to ensure that each product has a unique slug. This can be achieved by either cleaning up the database entries or manually adjusting the slugs to follow the standard setting of 'Auto generate from title (default)'. For illustration, here is a sandbox example demonstrating the same behavior with identical slugs.

Problem: You are transitioning to handling development internally and want to assign each country domain its own language without duplicating the site. You also need to automate country-specific legal and currency adaptations across 600 pages. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with assigning different languages to each country domain without duplicating content, we recommend upgrading from the WPML All Import to the newer WPML Export and Import plugin. This newer version supports various import methods that can facilitate managing translations and content adaptations more efficiently.

Problem: The client reported multiple issues related to WPML on their multilingual website, including untranslated category links, issues with the Amelia and Stylish Price List plugins, and pages that were not translated correctly. Solution: 1. For untranslated category links, we advised the client to navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomy Translation, set 'Categories (category)' to 'Translatable - only show translated items', and save the changes. This adjustment allows for the translation of categories, which can be done under WPML -> Taxonomy Translation. More details can be found in our guide: Translating Post Categories and Custom Taxonomies.
2. Regarding the Amelia Plugin, it is not officially compatible with WPML. We suggested checking the plugin author's advice for translating strings or considering an alternative plugin that is compatible with WPML. Compatible plugins can be explored here: Booking Functionality Plugins.
3. For the Stylish Price List plugin, which is also not compatible with WPML, we recommended using WPML's String Translation to search and translate the plugin's strings if available. If strings are not found, the client should refer to our guide on finding unlisted strings: Finding Strings that Don't Appear on the String Translation Page.
4. For the issue of pages not being translated, we requested more specific details about the pages that are stuck.
5. If the client wants to set up a multilingual website for international exposure, we suggested verifying the Language URL format settings, specifically considering 'A different domain per language'. More information is available here: How to Use WPML with Different Domains Per Language.
