Problem: The client was facing an issue where the corresponding language version of an article, written by a Contributor and published by the site administrator, wasn't appearing on the front end of the website. Solution: We advised the client to check the status of the post in the backend. It was discovered that the post was in a 'pending' status because it was translated by a Contributor who does not have the permission to publish. We changed the language to Indonesian from the top admin language bar, selected the 'edit anyway' option, and changed the status from pending to published. This resolved the issue, and the post now appears correctly on the front end. We recommend avoiding the use of the Contributor role for translations and suggest using at least an Editor role.
