Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where a page, despite being fully translated, still appeared as 'Needs translation' in the WPML translation queue. Additionally, attempting to translate the page resulted in an error message indicating that WPML had failed to translate the page three times.
Solution: We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Create a full site backup. 2. Navigate to the Translation Dashboard, locate the translation job for the affected content, and cancel it if possible. 3. Edit the content in the original language, make a minor change, and save. 4. Reassign the content for translation to yourself via the Translation Dashboard. 5. Update the translated version of the content through WPML -> Translations. 6. Check if the issue has been resolved.
DELETE FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` = '_icl_lang_duplicate_of';<br />DELETE FROM `wp_icl_translations` WHERE `language_code` = '';
If the problem persists or the solution seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues (https://wpml.org/known-issues/), verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
