Problem: You are trying to save a product bundle in a translation on your WooCommerce site using WPML, but the bundled products are not being saved, resulting in translations without options on the frontend.
Solution:
1. Ensure that at least one variation in a variable product has a price set, as this is a WooCommerce requirement.
2. Set the translation option for composites, bundles, and variable products to 'Translatable - xxxxxxxxx' in WPML -> Settings -> Post Types Translations. Similarly, adjust the 'Taxonomies Translation' settings.
3. The 'Variation Swatches for WooCommerce' plugin (by Emran Ahmed) is not compatible with WPML. If variation images do not appear in translated versions, consider contacting the plugin author or using an alternative compatible plugin. For more information, you can search in our forums.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with certain pages, menu items, and labels not translating or synchronizing correctly on your multilingual website using WPML, particularly with breadcrumbs and labels in specific languages like Spanish (ES) and French (FR), while they appear correctly in other languages. Solution: First, ensure that you have updated your WPML plugins to the latest version available under Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab. This update can help resolve many common issues by providing the latest features and fixes. Next, to address the specific issue with breadcrumbs not displaying correctly in certain languages, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML -> String Translation. 2. Search for the strings related to your issue, such as 'Projecten' or other relevant strings. 3. Translate these strings into the required languages. 4. If the source language of the strings is incorrect, you may need to adjust it by following the steps outlined here: How to change the source language of strings.

Problem: The client was unable to view the Dutch version of a page on their website. Although the Dutch flag was visible when trying to switch languages in the front-end, clicking on it still resulted in the English page being displayed. Solution: We discovered that there was a 301 redirect from the Dutch URL to the English one, which was set up using the Redirection plugin. We disabled this redirect, and after doing so, the Dutch page became accessible.
If you're experiencing a similar issue where you can't switch to a different language version of a page on your site, we recommend checking for any redirects that might have been created with redirection plugins. If you find one, try disabling it to see if that resolves the issue.

Problem: The client reported that after saving a new line (ACF Flexible Layout) on the English homepage, the content on the Dutch homepage and other language homepages appeared largely empty. This issue was temporarily resolved through revisions, but the client was concerned about the cause and how to prevent it from happening again.
Solution: 1) We recommended ensuring that the custom fields translation settings are correctly configured according to our documentation. Specifically, a flexible layout needs to be set to COPY. For more details, please refer to the following documentation:
2) We suggested making a small change to the default language page and then checking if the issue persists.
3) We asked if the issue still occurs when using the WP default theme with only WPML plugins and ACF activated.
4) We advised choosing the 'Expert' option in the Multilingual Setup and adjusting the settings as per the client's needs. For further guidance, the following documentation can be helpful:

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with managing translations within a flexible layout using WPML. Specifically, the client is unable to save changes to the translation preferences of certain fields within a repeater, and the accordion title within the repeater cannot be edited due to a lock icon. Additionally, German translations added are not displaying correctly even though the page indicates '100% Complete'.
Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Set the "repeater" field to "copy once". 2. Set the accordion field in the repeater to "copy". 3. Set the text field in the repeater to "translate". 4. Set the wysiwyg editor in the repeater to "translate". For guidance on setting custom fields translation preferences, refer to our documentation: Recommended Custom Fields Translation Preferences for ACF and WPML.
If the Accordion Titles are not showing up correctly, ensure that the translations are completed to 100% in the WPML Translation Editor. If the translation is not completed, the content will not display.
