This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Since June 21, 2024, the client has been trying to automatically translate three pages into English and German, despite having sufficient credits, the translation process remains incomplete.
Solution:
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend trying the following steps:
1. Attempt to replicate the issue on a staging site. If the issue does not occur there, proceed to the next step on your live site.
2. Deactivate the following plugins:
- Head, Footer and Post Injections
- Font Awesome
3. For one of the problematic pages, follow these steps:
- Edit the page in the default language.
- Add "V2" to the title and update it.
- Remove the "V2" and update the page again.
- Navigate to WPML-> Translation Management
- Select the page and send it to translation.
- Go to WPML-> Translation Management-> Translation Basket and complete the process.
- Finally, go to WPML-> Translations and translate the page.

This solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
Since June 21, 2024, I have been automatically translating these three pages into English and Deutsh, stating that I have credit, and the translation is still ongoing. The site is under development.

These pages are urgently needed :

hidden link ( en , de )

Symptoms:
Pages not yet translated.

Questions:
Why are the translations for these pages still ongoing despite having credit?
How can I expedite the translation process for these pages?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Mohamed,

I'm not sure why the pages are stuck, so I need access details to check the issue.

However, please try the following steps:

1- Go to WPML-> Settings-> Translation Mode
2- Select "Translate What You Choose"
3- Go to WPML-> Translation Management-> Jobs tab
4- Delete the "In Progress" jobs for the problematic pages
5- Edit the pages in the default language
6- Make a minor edit and update them
7- Go to WPML-> Translation Management
8- Send the pages to automatic translation

Best regards,
Osama

Hello,

Yes, I have made a backup but we don't want the website live down.

Also, you can find the staging site via dashboard ( WP Staging plugin ).

Thank you.
