Problem: The client created a Solaris Board with 48 letters, each set as an individual text field and animated. However, only 14 letters were visible in the ATE (Advanced Translation Editor). Solution: We found that this behavior is expected due to WPML's translation memory, which does not allow for different translations of the same text segment, such as the letter 'E'. To demonstrate, we translated all available letters to '1', and confirmed that they displayed correctly. If you're experiencing this issue and need a different approach, we recommend using a manual translation method. For guidance on using different translation editors, please visit Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

Problem: You want to translate the Contact form built with the DIVI Engine Form builder, but the placeholder in the form is not translated correctly. The translation appears in the Advanced Custom Fields (ACE) but not on the Front Page. Solution: We recommend adding the following XML configuration to your WPML settings to ensure that the placeholders and other form fields are correctly translated:
This configuration should help WPML recognize and translate the placeholders and other text fields within your DIVI Engine forms.

Problem: Sie möchten auf der Startseite unterschiedliche Videos für verschiedene Sprachen anzeigen, ohne jedes Mal das Video neu in der Media Translation hochzuladen. Sie möchten stattdessen ein bereits vorhandenes Video aus der Mediathek nutzen. Solution: Wenn Sie unterschiedliche Videos für verschiedene Sprachen auf Ihrer Startseite anzeigen möchten, können Sie das Media Translation Modul von WPML verwenden. Dieses Add-On ermöglicht es Ihnen, für jede Sprache ein spezifisches Video auszuwählen, das bereits in Ihrer Mediathek vorhanden ist. Sie müssen das Video nicht jedes Mal neu hochladen, sondern können einfach das gewünschte Video für jede Sprache zuweisen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Dokumentation: Media Translation Modul.

Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where the message 'Please wait, applying translation' doesn't stop after editing a page translated using WPML's automatic translation, it might be due to insufficient memory allocation. Solution: We recommend increasing the WP Memory Limit in your WordPress installation. You can do this by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:
This adjustment allows WordPress to utilize more memory, up to 256MB, which can help in resolving the issue where the translation application process seems to hang.

Problem: If you're experiencing delays in seeing your automatic translations from ATE appear on the front page of your site, it might be due to the need for review before publishing, caching issues, or an insufficient WP Memory Limit. Solution: First, check your WPML settings under WPML -> Settings -> Automatic translation to see if you have the option 'Let me review it before it gets published' selected. If so, translations will only show after you review and publish them. For more details, visit how to review automatic translations.
Additionally, ensure your site meets the minimum system requirements for WPML, especially a WP Memory Limit of at least 128MB, though 256MB is recommended. You can increase the memory limit by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:
