Problem: El cliente desea traducir todo el front end de su sitio web excepto el blog. Solution: Si estás intentando traducir todo el front end de tu sitio web excepto el blog, asegúrate de configurar "Posts" en WPML > Configuración > Traducción de tipo de publicación en "No traducir". Esto evitará que las publicaciones se traduzcan automáticamente. Deberías poder traducir páginas, productos y sus variaciones (globales). Una vez traducidas todas las páginas, puedes utilizar WPML > WP Menus Sync para crear automáticamente los menús en cada idioma. Además, te recomendamos enviar la información de WPML para solucionar problemas, lo cual puedes hacer siguiendo las instrucciones en este enlace.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where instead of seeing a translated page, a blank page is displayed. This problem was described in a series of videos provided by the client. Solution: 1. Take a full backup of the site and database. 2. Navigate to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting page. 3. Click on the button shown in this screenshot: https://tinyurl.com/yv2wmmc8 [Before clicking another button, please wait till the first process gets finished]. 4. Open the default page in WordPress Editor. 5. Make a small change in the title and save the changes. This will trigger a translation update. 6. Proceed to update the Translation. Ensure to complete the translation 100% and save it.
If the issue persists, it might be related to the theme or server settings blocking the translation. In such cases, updating the theme to the latest version, removing any server restrictions, or checking for custom code in the theme might be necessary.

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where after uploading an XLIFF file, the expected translated page did not appear. Solution: We recommended the following steps: 1. Ensure that the WPML settings are configured to use the Classic Translator Editor, as the Advanced Translator Editor does not display translations done via XLIFF. 2. If the translation jobs are still in progress (indicated by a spinning wheel icon), go to WPML --> Translation Management --> Jobs, cancel the ongoing jobs for the page, resend the page for translation, and re-import the XLIFF file. 3. Check if the theme and WPML plugins are up-to-date, as outdated versions can cause issues with displaying translations. 4. If the issue persists after following these steps, we might need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the site to further diagnose the problem.

Problema: El cliente tiene un sitio web en español bien posicionado en América del Sur y desea agregar inglés y alemán sin cambiar el idioma del dominio principal para no perder rankings en español. Solución: Desde el punto de vista de WPML, recomendamos agregar el idioma alemán y traducir el contenido. Para mantener el idioma del dominio principal en español mientras se agregan otros idiomas, una opción es utilizar diferentes dominios por idioma, lo cual se puede configurar siguiendo nuestra guía sobre cómo usar WPML con diferentes dominios por idioma. Sin embargo, esta opción puede tener connotaciones negativas en SEO, por lo que también recomendamos consultar con un experto en SEO para una estrategia adecuada.

Problem: The client has automatically translated their website and found that the URLs have been translated as well, which is causing issues with SEO and redirections. They are looking to revert the URLs to their original state, preferably only for blog articles.
Solution: We recommend checking the translation of the primary language page to see if the URL slug string is visible. If it is not found there, proceed to search for the string "address" in the string translations. If the string has been translated, you should undo the translation. If you're experiencing this issue, follow these steps to correct the URL translations: 1. Edit the translation of the primary language page to look for the slug string. 2. If the slug string is not there, go to the string translations and search for "address". 3. If you find that "address" has been translated, undo the translation.
