Problem: The client was concerned about the high cost of translating 266 words into 15 languages, which amounted to approximately 158€. They also inquired about the most cost-efficient way to translate all strings in their child theme text domain. Solution: 1. We explained that translation costs vary depending on the translation engine used. For instance, WPML AI charges 4 credits per word, while other services like Google Translate and Microsoft Translator may charge less. 2. To manage costs effectively, we recommended selecting the most economical translation engine, using WPML's Translation Memory to save on future translations, and checking the estimated costs on the WPML -> Translation Dashboard before proceeding. 3. For detailed pricing information, we provided a link to our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/ 4. We also addressed a specific issue with the translation cost display on the Translation Dashboard, which appeared to be a UX bug. Our 2nd-tier support team investigated and confirmed that the actual charges were correct, and the display issue was cosmetic.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the hreflang and URL code for the Czech language are set to 'cz', but the website outputs '/cs/' in the URL, despite changes in the language settings. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML > Languages > Edit Languages, and add the custom Czech language with the desired hreflang and code. 2. Go to WPML > Translation Dashboard, and duplicate the content from the previous Czech language to the new custom one.
