Problem: The client needed help estimating the cost of automatic translation for their site. They had downloaded their bill and the automatic translation usage report but were unable to determine the cost for each site. Solution: We advised the client to get a total word count for the site to estimate the automatic translation credits by selecting the posts/pages from WPML > Translation Management. For detailed steps, we recommended following this guide: Getting a Word Count of Your WordPress Site. Additionally, we provided the total credits used for the mentioned site for the month, which amounted to 1,583,989 credits. We explained that this total was calculated by summing up all the credits from the CSV file of the credits usage. We also guided the client to find their Automatic Translation Usage Report by navigating to WPML > Translation Management > Tools > Payment and settings > Automatic Translation Usage Reports.

Problem: The client is unable to connect product categories to the correct links in a secondary language using Elementor's mega menu feature. The links remain in the default language after switching languages. Solution: We recommend using the Dynamic content option in Elementor. Go to Dynamic content > Internal URL > Select the category. Make necessary changes to the footer content and save these changes. Afterwards, update the translation to allow WPML to automatically adjust the internal URL when using the Elementor widget Icon List. For further guidance on translating menus, please refer to our documentation: Translating Menus.

Problem: The client wants to restart the translation of their website without translating the slugs. They are also concerned about whether they will be charged again for the translation and how to handle already translated slugs. Solution: To restart the translation process without affecting the slugs, we recommend performing a WPML reset. This can be done by following the steps outlined here: WPML Reset Guide. For managing slug translations, you can prevent slugs from being translated by following the guidance in this forum post: Stop Slug Translation. Additionally, to edit an already translated slug, use the quick edit options as detailed here: Change WordPress Page Slug and here for taxonomies: Change WordPress Tag and Category Slug.
