The client installed WordPress in German (Sie) and then WPML, which switched to German (Du). In the meta tags, 'german-formal' appears, which the client believes is not good for SEO. They need to tag the website as being in German while using formal German with WPML.
Solution:
We recommend adding a function to the theme's child functions.php file to modify the HTML language attribute for German. Here is the code you should use:
add_filter('language_attributes', 'modify_language_attributes_for_german');
function modify_language_attributes_for_german($lang) {
// Check if the current language is German
$my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
if ($my_current_lang === 'de') {
// Replace the language code for German
return 'lang="de-DE"';
}
return $lang; // Keep default language attributes for other languages
}

Problema: Estás intentando traducir variaciones de productos de WooCommerce usando el editor viejo en WPML y te encuentras con que los atributos siguen bloqueados a pesar de haber desbloqueado ciertos atributos específicos. Solución: 1. Los atributos de productos no se pueden traducir manualmente usando el editor de WordPress. Para traducir los atributos, sigue los pasos en esta guía: Documentación de traducción de taxonomías. 2. Incrementa el límite de memoria de WordPress a un mínimo de 128Mb para mejorar el rendimiento. Puedes hacerlo añadiendo el siguiente código en tu archivo wp-config.php:
Asegúrate de añadirlo encima de la línea /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */. 3. Si los atributos fueron creados directamente en la pantalla de edición del producto, estos no serán globales y solo aplicables al producto específico. Para que sean globales y traducibles, debes crearlos en Productos -> Atributos.

Problem: The client's website, which is multilingual, encountered an issue where product URLs in the French version were incorrect, leading to 404 errors. Solution: First, we suggested that the client tests the issue on a staging site using the default WordPress theme and only WPML and WooCommerce plugins enabled, ensuring all other plugins were disabled. This step was to isolate the problem and confirm it was not caused by a theme or another plugin. Upon further investigation, we discovered that the translation of the custom product base in French was incorrect. We corrected the base to match the other languages, which resolved the issue and the URLs began working correctly.

Problem: The client was unable to translate product attributes using WPML as the save icon kept loading indefinitely. Additionally, they needed guidance on translating WooCommerce emails and had issues with the contact forms.
Solution: For the attribute translation issue, we recommended checking the browser console for errors and disabling all plugins except WooCommerce, Elementor, WPML, and its addons to identify any conflicts. If the problem persisted, we suggested switching to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-One and reactivating plugins one by one to pinpoint the issue.
To resolve the attribute loading issue, we set the translation preference for product attributes to "Translatable" in WPML > Settings > Taxonomies Translation, corrected the translation preference for the "product_type" taxonomy in WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Troubleshooting, and refreshed each attribute in Products > Attributes.
For translating WooCommerce emails, we advised checking the email templates and filling out the necessary fields, then following the guide on how to translate WooCommerce emails.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the currency switcher on their website. The currency switcher does not work on the homepage and behaves unpredictably when changing languages or navigating different pages like cart, checkout, about, and home, especially when a performance plugin with cache is enabled. Solution: 1. Verify that the website is accessible and loading correctly. If not, check with the hosting provider. 2. Flush the cache memory and temporarily deactivate the cache plugin to see if the issue with the currency switcher persists. 3. Ensure that the WordPress memory limit is sufficient. It is recommended to set it to at least 128M. This can be done by adding the following line to the wp-config.php file:
Place it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */. 4. If the issue disappears when the Breeze cache plugin is disabled, consider switching to a cache plugin that is compatible with WPML, such as LiteSpeed Cache.
