Problem: You are translating your website from Swedish to English using WPML and facing an issue where internal links are not being translated automatically in the WPML translation editor. This occurs even though English is set as 'hidden' in the settings, and you are using the WPML translation editor for Elementor pages, posts, custom post types, and templates. Solution: 1. Ensure that your WordPress Settings for the site URL include 'https' to match the frontend URLs. Go to WP Dashboard >> Settings >> General and replace both URLs to start with
https://
and then press 'Save Changes'. 2. Update the links in your Elementor Template to start with 'https' and then attempt to translate the links again. You might need to remove the old links and re-add them to ensure they are automatically translated. 3. Clear all types of caches (site, server, CDN) and then verify if the issue is resolved. Alternatively, try adding links on a new page and check if the automatic link translation works with the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).

Problem: Translators were removed from WPML and could not be re-added, although they still existed as accounts on the website. Solution: We found that the issue was caused by a corrupt key in the database. We removed the
wpml-cache-translators-translate
entry from the
wp_options
table in the database, which resolved the problem and the translator users were visible again in WPML.

Solution: We recommend following these steps to address the issue: 1. Refer to our guide on translating links: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/ 2.

Make a small change to the original page and save it, then revert the change. This action should trigger an update in the translation editor. d. Return to the translation editor to see if the changes are now visible.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with WPML on a single Custom Post Type (CPT) page built with Elementor, where the translated page does not maintain the same slug across all languages. Instead of having a consistent slug like '/salesforce' for each language, it changes to '/salesforce-dk' and similar variations for other languages. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address the issue: 1. Ensure that you have a backup of your website. It's safer to perform these steps on a staging version of your site to avoid disruptions. 2. Update WPML and its add-ons by navigating to 'WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Commercial (tab)', then click the 'Check for Updates' button. For more information, visit WPML automated updates documentation. 3. Go to 'WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation', find the post type in question, and ensure the slug translation matches the original. 4. Navigate to 'WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks' and click the 'Save' button to flush the permalinks cache. 5. If using separate domains for different languages, validate each domain under 'WPML > Languages' and ensure they point directly to the website without redirection. For more details, visit WPML different domains per language documentation.
