Problem: The client is experiencing issues with automatic translations when translating posts from Dutch to German using the DeepL translation engine. Specifically, the URL field is getting translated into English instead of German, despite the settings being configured for Dutch to German translation. The client is also concerned about whether the translation memory will recognize and apply corrections to similar future translations of slugs.
Solution: 1. We advised the client to correct the translation in the Advanced Translation Editor to ensure it is saved to the translation memory. This way, when translating the same slug in the future, the issue should not reoccur.
2. We confirmed that the translation memory requires an exact match to remember a full sentence or string. Therefore, any variations in the sentence will not be recognized by the translation memory.
3. We suggested that the client review and correct translations in the Advanced Translation Editor if they notice any incorrect translations. This process involves the server retrieving results from the translation engine, and corrections can be made directly within the editor.
For more information, the client can refer to the following documentation:

Problem: The client needed to update specific terms in their automatic translations across 600 posts and ensure that their preferred terms are used in future translations. Solution: We recommended the client to add their preferred terms to the WPML glossary following the steps in our guide: How to create and manage glossary entries. After adding these terms to the glossary, the client will need to update the translated content for the changes to take effect.
