Problem: You are trying to translate the banner at the top of your website into different languages using WPML, but encounter issues where the text 'Prices Dates' appears multiple times. Additionally, you are unsure how to use the WPML automatic menu creation feature. Solution: First, ensure that all pages on your website are fully translated. Then, navigate to WPML > WP Menus Sync and complete the dialog to automatically create the menu in all languages, using the site's default language menu as a reference. This process will work seamlessly if all pages have been translated. You can also manually edit each menu in each language to place custom menu items as needed.

Problem: The client is setting up WPML to translate their website into multiple languages and has encountered two issues: unexpected '/en' suffix in English URLs and an incorrect credit calculation for translations. Solution: For the issue with English URLs having an '/en' suffix, this is standard behavior when using the 'Different languages in directories' option in WPML. If you prefer not to have '/en' for English, consider using a different URL format option in WPML settings. Regarding the translation credit calculation, the initial estimate includes not only the visible text but also hidden elements like custom fields and content from third-party plugins. To ensure you are only charged for the content you want translated, configure your translation preferences under WPML > Settings before starting the automatic translation. This includes setting non-essential content, such as blog posts, to 'not translatable' if you do not wish them to be included.
