Problem: The client is working on a site under development and wants to ensure that they are utilizing the translation memory feature in WPML. Solution: We explained that WPML offers two types of translation editors: the Advanced Translation Editor and the Classic Translation Editor. The translation memory feature is available only in the Advanced Translation Editor, which is the default on any new WPML installation. If the client sees the Classic Translation Editor when creating a translation, it indicates that the translation memory is not in use. To enable the Advanced Translation Editor, go to WPML > Settings > Translation Editor. However, if translations were already created with the Classic Translation Editor, they would not be migrated automatically to the Advanced Translation Editor and would need to be created again. For a detailed understanding of how the translation memory works, we recommend reading the documentation at How WPML Keeps Track of Your Translations.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if further assistance is needed. You can do so at WPML Support Forum.
