Problem: The client is unable to display SVG images on the translated pages of their website using WPML. Despite applying a known workaround, the SVG images still do not appear on the translated version of the page. Solution: We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Add the workaround from the errata to your theme's
functions.php
file. You can find the workaround here: WPML Errata on SVG Support. 2. Update the homepage in the original language by making a minor edit (e.g., adding a space at the end of a paragraph). 3. Update the translation of the homepage by opening it in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) and clicking 'Completed', even if no changes are made. If the SVG images display correctly after these steps, begin reactivating other plugins one at a time or in small groups on your development site to identify any conflicts. Once the issue reappears, note which plugin was last activated as it may be causing the conflict.

Problem: The client is using a custom language switcher in a shortcode and needs to output the language code (e.g., FR, EN) instead of the full language name. They could not find the option to do this in the custom code. Solution: We recommend navigating to WPML > Languages > Edit Languages, where you can change the language name from its full form (e.g., 'French') to its code (e.g., 'FR'). You should apply this change for each language accordingly.
