Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with WPML on their website. When editing original pages, the previously edited German translations are overwritten. They are also inquiring about the automatic application of glossary terms to translations and issues with translating anchor links and internal links using Themify builder.

Solution:
1. To prevent translations from being overwritten after updates to the original content, ensure that the 'Save to translation memory' option is used after making adjustments in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).
2. Glossary terms should be automatically added to translations. If they are not, check the glossary type and ensure it is set correctly. If using DeepL as the translation engine, change the quality to 'Formal' in WPML settings.
3. For translating anchors and internal links, search for 'http' in ATE and translate URLs manually if necessary. WPML attempts to adjust internal links automatically, but manual adjustment may be needed in some cases, such as when using a theme builder.
4. Update WPML plugins to the latest version for optimal performance and compatibility.
5. Increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 128M, preferably 256M.
