Problem:
Der Klient schlug vor, ein SVG-Symbol anstelle des aktuellen PNG-Symbols für das WP-Admin-Menü zu verwenden und lieferte eine detaillierte Lösung, wie dies umgesetzt werden könnte.
Solution:
Wir haben den Vorschlag des Klienten als Feature Request an unser Entwicklungsteam weitergeleitet. Wir hatten bereits die Möglichkeit, SVG-Symbole zu verwenden, in Betracht gezogen und es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass dies in zukünftigen Versionen von WPML implementiert wird. Wir danken dem Klienten für das Feedback.
Problem: The client is trying to set up a custom role for site editors to manage translations without giving them super admin permissions. They have used the User Role Editor plugin to configure the role but are unable to see the edit button for translations in the backend or frontend, despite following the steps in the provided documentation and ensuring all checkboxes are enabled. Solution: We recommend updating WPML to the latest version, as this issue has been addressed in version 4.6.9. Before updating, ensure to create a complete backup of the site. For more details on the issue and the fix, please refer to the errata page:
Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where users with custom roles are unable to edit specific posts/pages that were translated by another user. They have tried using the Custom Role Editor plugin and creating custom roles programmatically, but the issue persists. They have also tried using code from the WPML forums to enable the editor role to translate, but it only works for default WordPress roles, not custom ones.
Solution: We recommend updating to the latest version of WPML, as this issue should be resolved in version 4.6.9. Before updating, ensure to have a complete backup of your site. You can find more information about this issue on our errata page:
Problem: The client's content managers, responsible for translations, lost access to posts and pages after an update, receiving a message stating they do not have the rights to translate from NL to ES. Solution: We recommend updating to the latest version of WPML, as this issue should be resolved in version 4.6.9. Before updating, ensure to have a complete backup of your site. For more information, please refer to our errata page: WPML custom role based on the editor role cannot edit translations and behave as editor.

Problem: The client reported that the support links in email notifications for WPML forum tickets were not directing to the specific comment in the forum thread as they used to.
Solution: We acknowledged the issue and forwarded the details to our systems team for investigation. After the systems team implemented the necessary changes, we asked the client to verify if the email links for forum ticket notifications were now functioning correctly.

Problem: The client is experiencing accessibility issues with the language switcher on their website, as indicated by the PageSpeed Insights test. Solution: We acknowledge an existing internal development ticket regarding this issue, but we cannot provide a specific timeline for its resolution. We suggest adding an
aria-label
attribute with a descriptive name to the language switcher link to improve accessibility, like so:
<a href="https://www.spotix.app/he/spots/..." class="wpml-ls-link" aria-label="Descriptive Name of the Link"></a>
Additionally, we recommend checking the following documentation for a potential workaround regarding missing alt tags for flag images in the language switcher: Missing alt tag for flag image in a language switcher
Problem: Sie möchten, dass Kommentare zu Produkten, sobald sie genehmigt sind, in allen Sprachen angezeigt werden, unabhängig davon, in welcher Sprache sie erfasst wurden. Das bisher verwendete Plugin 'Multilingual Comments' wird nicht mehr gewartet und verursacht Probleme bei der Berechnung der Gesamtsternebewertung in WooCommerce. Lösung: Wir empfehlen Ihnen, das Plugin Multilingual Comments WPML zu verwenden. Dieses Plugin ist Open Source und sollte Ihr Problem lösen, obwohl es nicht von uns erstellt oder gewartet wird. Antworten auf Bewertungen werden standardmäßig nicht als Bewertungen gezählt. Wenn Sie möchten, dass sich dies ändert, können Sie eine Funktionsanfrage über den folgenden Link einreichen: Feature-Vorschlag für WPML.
Sollte diese Lösung für Sie nicht relevant sein, öffnen Sie bitte ein neues Support-Ticket im WPML-Supportforum.
Problem: The client wants to set the default language on their page based on the site visitor's location and is concerned about how it might affect SEO. Additionally, the client is experiencing issues with buttons not maintaining the chosen language, and is inquiring about better translation options than the default translator. Solution: For setting the default language based on visitor location, we currently offer an automatic browser language redirect feature. This detects the visitor's browser language and redirects them to the corresponding language version of your site if available. However, this is based on browser language, not geolocation. To implement geolocation: 1. Consider using plugins from our compatible plugins list that support geotargeting. 2. If you need custom coding, you may contact one of our certified partners. 3. You can also suggest this feature for future versions of WPML at this link.
Regarding SEO, using geolocation should not affect your search engine rankings; it only determines which version of your website the visitor sees.
For the button language issue and seeking better translation options, we have created separate support tickets:
Problem: The client is inquiring about the possibility of updating WPML plugins automatically via Composer without having to manually specify the plugin version each time.
Solution: We currently do not have a feature that allows for automatic updates to the latest version of WPML plugins via Composer. We understand the inconvenience this may cause when managing multiple websites. We have taken note of this request and have created a feature ticket for it. This suggestion has been added to our backlog board for discussion in future planning sessions. Unfortunately, our schedule is full for the next 6 months, so we cannot provide an immediate solution to this request.
If this solution does not seem relevant to your situation, please feel free to open a new support ticket with us.
