Problem: The client needed to change the formality (default, formal, informal) of the language for two languages on their site and was unsure how to apply these changes to already translated pages using the WPML and DeepL auto translation feature. Solution: We advised the client that to apply new formality settings to already translated content, they must manually re-translate these pages. This can be done by navigating to WPML > Translation Management and selecting the option to overwrite existing translations. It is important to ensure that there are sufficient credits and that the pages are fully translated before attempting to overwrite them. .

We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) such as receiving errors like 'Unable to retrieve job details' and 'finalCallback.incompleteResponse' after trashing an incorrectly assigned post and its translation, and then creating a new post with the same title and content in the correct language. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Ensure that you have deleted the trashed post completely. 2. Visit WPML > Support > Troubleshooting and run the options to remove ghost entries and cancel in-progress automatic jobs. 3.
