Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with a large number of strings (almost 3000) appearing after scanning two plugins for translation with WPML. The client wants to translate only front-end strings and avoid translating unnecessary strings, such as admin/dashboard strings, to save on translation costs. Additionally, the client encountered a problem where the translation page remains blank after sending strings to the translation basket.

Solution:
1. To remove untranslated strings in bulk for a chosen domain, we recommend following this guide: Deleting Strings documentation.

2. To capture only the strings that appear on the front-end, use the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option. Activate this option and visit the front-end pages where the desired strings are displayed. If this method does not capture the strings due to the way they are added to the plugin, a scan may be required. We suggest manually searching for and translating the specific meta data and button texts within String Translation, as these typically amount to only 10-20 strings.

3. If the translation editor is stuck, it may be due to a 1MB limit on the translation job. To resolve this, cancel the translation job by following the steps in this guide: How to Cancel Translation Jobs.

If these solutions do not seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket with us, and provide the URL where the strings you want to translate appear, along with a screenshot of the specific strings. You can open a new ticket here: WPML Support Forum.
