Problem: The client needed help with translating strings in PHP code that were not properly wrapped for translation. Solution: First, we guided the client to wrap all texts in gettext calls as per our documentation. Specifically, we advised checking step number 2.
After modifying the code, we instructed the client to use the String Translation feature in WPML to translate the modified string. The steps included enabling the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option, visiting the front end to render the string, and then searching for the string in the String Translation interface.

Problem: You are trying to translate strings on the product archive page and product single page in WooCommerce using WPML. After updating the French content on the product archive page created by Elementor and creating a new product single page, the translated English content does not display. Solution: We discovered that some database records were blocking the proper communication between your site and the ATE's servers. To resolve this, we recommend running the following SQL queries on your database:
1
2
deletefrom wp_options where option_name = 'wpml.ate_sync.lock.key';
deletefrom wp_options where option_name = 'wpml.ate_sync.lock';
Please ensure to make a full backup of your site before applying these changes. If the issue persists after applying this fix, it might be due to other reasons or the solution might be outdated. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
Problem: If you're experiencing a 404 error on the English version of your WooCommerce 'Thank You' page while the French version displays correctly, it might be due to accented characters in the translated endpoint. Additionally, if you encounter a database error indicating missing tables such as 'wp_icl_strings', this could be related to the WPML plugin.
Solution: For the 404 error, we recommend removing any accented characters from the translated endpoint in your URL and replacing them with simple English letters (e.g., "ordre-recu").
