Problem: The client is experiencing issues with their WPML setup on a site under development. Specific problems include the homepage not behaving as expected in translated versions and confusion about URL slugs for translated pages. Solution: 1. For the homepage not appearing correctly in translated versions, ensure that the translated page is defined as the homepage in WordPress settings. This setup typically changes the permalink to include a language code (e.g., /de) when configured correctly. 2. To address issues with URL slugs in translations, the configuration of WPML needs to be checked. If the client wishes to have specific slugs that match the page titles, they can adjust this in WPML settings. Detailed guidance on configuring slugs can be found in the WPML Slug Translation Guide. 3. If the translation progress shows less than 100%, the client should click the "+" in the segment within the advanced editor to complete the translation.
