Problem: You are experiencing issues with accommodation names that were accidentally translated using WPML on your WordPress site. Additionally, you seek a method to set up WPML to prevent automatic translation of these place names in the future.
Solution: To correct the already translated accommodation names, you have two options:
1) Manually edit the translations. After saving, the translation memory will update for future use.
2) If the translations were done in WPML's String Translation, you can apply the same manual correction approach.
To prevent future automatic translations, use the Glossary feature in WPML. You can define specific words and their translations to ensure they are translated as specified when auto-translation is used. For more details on setting up a glossary, visit How to Create and Manage Glossary Entries.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also 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.
Problem: The client is experiencing issues with URLs not correctly pointing to the translated versions of pages in different languages on their website. The main problems are with header, footer, and on-page links, where some links have been auto-translated, and others have not. Solution: 1. Verify that the pages or posts have been translated into the relevant languages. 2. Go to WPML > Settings and in the 'Translate Link Targets' section, click on the 'Scan now and Adjust links' button. 3. Update the link format to relative by editing the module or text where the link has been added. For example, use '/page-name' instead of the full URL. 4. Save changes and update the translation. 5. If issues persist, especially with custom links in images as seen in Elementor templates, enter 'http' in the search box within the Translation Editor to find and translate the URL. 6. For further guidance on translating Elementor templates, visit https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/#translating-elementor-templates 7. If automatic translation adjustments do not resolve the issue, use the WPML Troubleshooting tools to synchronize post taxonomies and fix post-type assignments for translations.
