[Resolved] Stopping translation because source text contains bold and translated doesn't

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with the Advanced Translation Editor in WPML, where it flags text that is not present in the translation due to differences in bold formatting between the source and translated text.
Solution:
Currently, it is not possible to disable the check for bold formatting differences in the Advanced Translation Editor. All content, including HTML markers, must be the same in both the original and translated pages. If you require different content or formatting, you can opt for a manual translation method by following this guide: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages. Alternatively, you can customize the appearance of the second language page using custom CSS, but the text and content must still be fully translated and consistent across both languages.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also advise 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.
