Problem: The client requested a custom script to bulk update the source language from German to English for all Elementor and WooCommerce posts using WPML. Solution: We advised against using custom scripts for modifying WPML settings due to potential risks and lack of support for such modifications. Instead, if WPML was recently installed and no translations have been made, we recommended performing a WPML reset and setting the correct default language from the beginning. Detailed instructions for this can be found here: WPML Reset Guide. If translations already exist, the supported method is to manually disconnect and reconnect the translations while setting the correct default language. Step-by-step guides for this process are available here:

Problem: After switching from gTranslate back to WPML, the client experienced issues where WPML was not displaying languages correctly in the pages area. Specifically, every translated page appeared multiple times instead of once, and the WPML option to connect other pages was missing in the WordPress editor sidebar. Solution: We discovered that in the WPML settings under WPML > Settings > Post types translation, the post type "Pages" was set to "Not translatable". We changed the setting for pages and posts to "Translatable" and saved the WordPress Permalink settings. We then asked the client to review the translations and report any unexpected issues.
