sophieM-11	Background of the issue: We are trying to identify which user clicked the edit translations button on the back end of our site hidden link. Symptoms: We can't find any documentation to find any activity logs for this activity. Questions: Is there a way to identify who edited a page or translation? Is there a way to identify which user clicked the edit translations button on the back end?

While waiting for one of my colleagues to help with this ticket, and based on what you've described, did you try to use the default WordPress revisions? Revisions will allow you to see any changes made to your page and the author of those changes. Here is an article that explains how they work: hidden link Nico

sophieM-11	Hi Nicolas, Thank you for your reply. Yes we still need assistance - WordPress doesn't show the revisions to the WPML translations form. Thanks, Sophie

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	Hi Sophie, Unfortunately, we don't have a native feature within WPML that logs users' activities. I recommend reviewing a plugin like 'WP Activity Log', which tracks and logs all user's activities.

sophieM-11	Thanks Bobby, yes we have that, but again it doesn't identify which user clicked to edit the translations on the form. Thanks for your help.

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	You are welcome! Unfortunately, no feature from WPMl would make this easier. If you are using the advanced translation editor you might be able to identify content added by translators by going to WPML->Translation Management-> Jobs. You can use the filter next to the "Translated by" column to see who translated what. For visual guidance, please refer to this screenshot: hidden link. Also, here are some other choices for tracking: Plugins -> Activity Log (different from WP Activity Log) , Simple History WordPress Revision History Custom Solutions: - Use WordPress hooks like save_post to capture changes to translations. - Log details (user, timestamp, post ID) into a custom database table or log file.
