Problem: The client is considering switching from GTranslate to WPML for their sites, which need to be 100% automatically translated. They are concerned about whether WPML can handle fully automatic translations without manual intervention. Solution: We confirmed that WPML is compatible with many WordPress themes and works closely with theme authors to ensure compatibility. To check if the client's theme is compatible with WPML, we recommended visiting our compatible themes directory at https://wpml.org/theme/. For fully automatic translations, WPML offers the 'Translate Everything' mode, which can translate all types of content automatically as soon as they are published. This includes posts, pages, custom post types, products, taxonomy, and custom fields. More details on Automatic Translation can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/. Additionally, we provided links to demonstrations of how Automatic Translation works:

Problem: You redesigned your website and noticed that the secondary language version (English) of the ticket site has been directly edited in Elementor, differing from the primary language layout (Danish). The English version does not match the layout of the Danish version after direct edits were made in Elementor. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend trying to make a small change to the original page and then translating it in the WPML translation editor. This should apply the original layout to the translation after saving it. If you directly added translations to Elementor for the secondary language, consider moving them to the WPML translation editor. Alternatively, you can edit the layout directly in Elementor for the secondary language. For guidance on translating an Elementor website with WPML, visit How to Translate an Elementor Website with WPML. Another option is to switch to the secondary language, move the page to the trash, and then permanently delete it from the Trash page for that language. For more details on this process, visit How to Delete the Translation of a Page.
