Problem: You are trying to translate two search forms using WPML, but they remain stuck in the 'waiting for translator' status even after attempting to publish them without review. Additionally, the 'jobs' tab shows no pending tasks. Solution: First, ensure that these forms do not require translation. If they don't, you should exclude them from WPML's translation management. Here's how you can do it: 1. Create a backup of your website. 2. Navigate to WPML > Settings and set the Post Type for your forms to 'not translatable' under Post Types Translations. 3. If you need to translate placeholder text within the forms, use the WPML > String Translation module. You can find more details on string translation here: String Translation documentation.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where their website is not detecting the available translation credits despite having sufficient credits. The website continuously prompts for more credits, and clicking the option indicating that credits have been added does not resolve the issue. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps to resolve it: 1. Log in to your WPML.org account and navigate to the Sites page. 2. Delete the existing site key. 3. Log in to your site, go to the Dashboard >> Plugins >> Add new > Commercial tab and click the Unregister WPML from this site link if it exists. 4. Click the Register WPML link. 5. Click the Get a key for this site link. This will generate a new key for your site, and you can assign the credits using that popup. 6. Copy the new key, paste it into the input box on your site, and press the Register button. Additionally, to ensure WPML and other plugins operate smoothly and to avoid unexpected errors, add the following line to your wp-config.php file to increase the WP memory limit:
You can confirm the WP memory settings from the WPML >> Support page.

Problem: If you're using WPML for automatic translations and encounter an issue where it shows a lot of pending reviews, but when you attempt to approve them, you receive a 'no data' message, this might be due to a database collation error. Solution: We found that the issue typically arises from a mismatch in database collations. For instance, while your core WordPress and WPML tables might share the same collation, such as 'utf8mb4_general_ci', individual columns within these tables could differ. This discrepancy can cause SQL errors during operations that involve joining columns with different collations. To fix this, you can adjust the collation of the affected columns to match the default. For example, changing the 'post_title' column in the 'wp_posts' table back to 'utf8mb4_general_ci' should resolve the issue. We recommend using a database management tool like Adminer to make these changes. Always ensure to back up your database before making any modifications.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
