Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating 'before' and 'after' strings of dynamic components in Elementor using custom XML. The provided XML did not function as expected. Solution: We recommend using the Multilingual Tools plugin to automatically generate the correct XML configuration for Elementor's dynamic tags. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Download and Install Multilingual Tools: Visit the OnTheGoSystems GitHub page, download the plugin, and install it on your WordPress site. 2. Prepare Your Elementor Page: Ensure the 'before' and 'after' strings are filled in the Elementor editor and the page is updated. 3. Generate the Custom XML: On the WordPress edit screen, find the 'WPML: Elementor Widgets' section to copy the automatically generated XML. 4. Apply the Generated XML: Paste this XML in the 'Custom XML Configuration' tab under 'WPML → Settings' and save. 5. Update and Translate: Make a minor edit to the page and use the WPML Advanced Translation Editor to translate the newly available strings.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the WPML AI (beta) translation tool does not use the formal Dutch pronouns 'u' despite selecting the 'Formal' text setting. Instead, it uses informal pronouns 'je' and 'jij'. Solution: We have confirmed that the formality option in the WPML Translation Tool Tab is correctly set. The discrepancy you noticed in the WPML → Settings will be aligned in the upcoming WPML 4.7 release with the 'auto-formality' feature. Currently, our AI does not support manual formality selection and applies the most commonly used formality automatically. This approach helps avoid inconsistencies in translation quality across different languages. For now, if you need formal Dutch translations, we recommend using DeepL and setting it to formal. We are continuously working on improving the WPML AI, and your feedback is crucial for these enhancements.
