Problem: The client is working on a multi-language project using WPML and needs to create custom language codes (e.g., fr_ml for French, de_ml for German) for their website. They are concerned about how these custom codes will affect translations sent to the third-party service Lilt and whether it impacts the default locales. Solution: 1. If you're using custom language codes, you need to inform us so we can map these codes in our proxy. Please contact us with the codes and corresponding languages. Additionally, you should notify the translation service (Lilt) to make necessary adjustments. 2. The custom language code itself does not significantly impact the process as long as it is correctly mapped. However, it might affect existing translations of plugin/theme strings that are specific to standard language codes (e.g., fr instead of fr_ml). 3. We will handle the mapping of these custom language codes in our proxy to ensure they correspond to the correct languages.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket.
