Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where a string is not outputting in the Estonian language and instead shows in English, despite being translated in WPML String Translation, this might be due to the text domain settings. For instance, using
esc_html_e( 'Privacy settings', 'cookieconsent' )
might not work, but changing the text domain to your theme's text domain, like
__( 'Privacy settings', 'child-theme' )
, resolves the issue.
Solution: We recommend keeping the function that outputs the string and then scanning your theme for strings. Here are the steps: 1. Keep the function:
2. Go to your WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Theme and plugins localization and select your theme to scan. 3. After the scan, navigate to WordPress Dashboard > WPML > String translation and search for the string in question. 4. Ensure the content of the string matches the flag next to it. If not, set the source language correctly by following this guide: How to change the source language of strings. 5. Complete the translation and check the front end.

Problem: The client needed help translating custom fields such as 'Experience', 'Fresh', and 'Year' from the WP Job Board plugin, which were not registered in a way that WPML could translate them due to compatibility issues. Solution: We recommended creating the same custom fields again for the secondary language and using the manual translation method to manually assign the translated fields to the translated jobs, while keeping the original fields assigned to the default language jobs. Additionally, we suggested configuring WP Job Board so that empty field values are not displayed to avoid showing duplicate fields. We also advised contacting the plugin author for potentially better multilingual support and checking the list of officially compatible plugins at https://wpml.org/plugin/.

Problem: The client is unable to translate the words "Country" and "City" on their website, which is caused by custom JavaScript code added via the WPCode plugin. Solution: 1. Temporarily disable the custom code added via WPCode and verify that translations work correctly. 2. Contact the developer who created the custom script and ask them to make the JavaScript strings translatable using WordPress localization functions. For guidance on how to localize scripts, visit the WordPress documentation: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_localize_script/ Since custom JavaScript implementation is outside our support scope, the developer of the code will be the best person to adjust it.

Problema: Si estás intentando importar traducciones de un documento PDF a tu sitio web multilingüe en WPML, es importante saber que WPML no puede procesar archivos PDF directamente porque necesita datos estructurados y segmentados. Solución: Debes convertir el PDF a un formato compatible como XLIFF, CSV o XML utilizando herramientas externas o un flujo de trabajo personalizado. Asegúrate de que la conversión preserve o te permita añadir la estructura y los identificadores necesarios (como el slug o ID de la página, el SKU del producto, etc.) para vincular correctamente el contenido en búlgaro con el contenido existente del sitio.

Problem: The client is trying to prioritize the display of translated content on their multilingual site, but is unsure how to configure WPML to achieve this specific behavior. Solution: We explained that with the current features available in WPML, it is not possible to customize the content display to prioritize translated content as the client desires. The client can either: 1. Display only translated content. 2. Enable the fallback mode to show untranslated content as well. Both options will result in the content being displayed in the same manner as it currently appears on the site.

Problem: If you're experiencing a fatal error when using PHP 8 with the WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce plugin, and the error disappears when the plugin is deactivated or when using PHP 7.4, the issue might be related to a specific string translation. Solution: We recommend the following steps to resolve this issue: 1. Navigate to WPML -> Strings Translation. 2. Search for "All %s" under the "woocommerce" domain with "Exact match" checked. 3. Edit the German translation to include an "s" after "Alle %". 4. Press Enter to save the change. This adjustment should resolve the fatal error. Please check your site to confirm that the problem is solved.

Problem: The client was experiencing issues with translating the product field description in the order summary of a Gravity Forms form on a multisite installation. The provided custom snippet did not translate the description text from German to English. Solution: We recommended replacing the existing snippet with a new one that includes steps to register and translate strings using WPML. Here is the revised snippet:
After implementing the new snippet, the client should: 1. Navigate to WPML → String Translation. 2. Filter by Domain/Context using the format 'gravity_form-{FORM_ID}', where {FORM_ID} is the ID of the form. 3. Look for strings named like 'field-{FIELD_ID}-description', add translations, and save. If the strings are not visible, the client should submit the form once or load any page that renders the product info to trigger the registration.
