Problem:
You want to prevent certain menu items from being translated in WPML, such as 'i-tips'.
Solution:
We recommend creating custom menus manually to have full control over which items get translated and which do not. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this by visiting our documentation on Translating Menus.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check our known issues page and confirm that you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. If you still need assistance, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket in our support forum.

Problem:
The client took over a site and found that WooCommerce strings were incorrectly set to Zulu as the source language, which was causing issues with translating strings on the 'My Account' page in WooCommerce.

Solution:
1. We advised the client to check WPML > Languages to see if they could find and remove the Zulu language setting, as per the instructions in our documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-completely-remove-a-language-from-your-site/.

2. We suggested changing the default language of the strings to English if they were originally in English, following the steps provided in a similar support ticket: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/by-mistake-i-set-my-site-default-language-to-armenian-and-cant-change-it/#post-15274017.

3. We recommended using only WPML for translations and not multiple multilingual plugins. We also provided methods to find and translate strings that do not appear on the String Translation page, as detailed in our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/.

4. We requested temporary access to the site to investigate the issue further and provided instructions on how to safely provide this information.

5. After gaining access, we confirmed that all WooCommerce strings were marked as Zulu and provided steps to change the default language to English and translate the strings to Dutch.

6. We successfully updated all strings to have English as the default language and asked the client to confirm the changes on their side.

Problem:
The client is using automatic translation but cannot find an option to translate all the content for their products into French. Manually completing the translation for each product is not feasible for over 700 products.
Solution:
If you're experiencing difficulty translating multiple products at once and wish to avoid translating your entire website, we recommend using the bulk automatic translation feature. For detailed instructions on how to use this feature, please visit our documentation on Automatically Translating Multiple Translation Jobs in Bulk.
