Problem:
The client needed to exclude the title and slug of Project pages from being translated, and was also using Geodirectory with the WPML add-on and wanted to apply the same settings.
Solution:
We recommended a workaround to prevent the title from being translated. For a specific post type, the client can use the following code, replacing 'YOUR_POST_TYPE' with the actual post type:
This code should be added to the functions.php file of the theme or child theme.
To keep the slug untranslated and copy it from the default language, the client should select the copy option and then navigate to WPML > Languages > Edit languages. For the correct language, select 'Encode URLs' and set it to 'Yes'.

Problem:
1. The customer needs to change the word "expédition" to "envoyer" in all forms on the website.
2. Some URL links do not include the /fr/ prefix in translated versions, causing 404 errors.
3. The client wants to change an image on all translated pages.
4. The customer wants the language switcher to display language abbreviations (FR, NL) instead of full names.
Solution:
1. If a Divi Form Widget was used, simply open the content translation and adjust the translation within the WPML Translation Editor.
2. For links that do not include the /fr/ prefix, it is necessary to verify that the content is 100% translated and published in the WPML Translation Editor. If the problem persists, you can search for button links and image URLs in the Advanced Translation Editor using the dedicated text search field.
3. Although there is no way to change images in bulk, you can use the "WPML Media Translation" plugin to upload alternative images for different languages. WPML Media Translation Guide
4. To edit the language names, you can go to WPML > Languages > Edit Languages. < strong>Edit the WPML language table

Problem: The client is attempting to translate their site using WPML and wants to export an XLIFF file of the translated content for review by a professional translator. After translating the homepage and exporting the XLIFF file, the translator returned the file with modifications. However, upon importing the updated XLIFF file back into WPML, the changes are not visible, despite following the steps in the documentation and receiving a successful import message.
Solution: We recommend a simpler method for allowing translators to review automatic translations directly on the site. To do this, the translator should be made a local WordPress user and assigned to review the automatic translation jobs. Detailed instructions on how to review automatic translations can be found in our documentation:
