Problem: You are experiencing an issue where the featured image set for a translated post disappears after some time, although it appears correctly in the original language. Solution: If you are setting the Featured Image for the translated post directly in the WordPress editor, this might not be necessary. When you translate a post, the featured image from the original post is automatically copied and synchronized with the translation. If you wish to use a different featured image for each language, we recommend following the steps described in this documentation.

Problem: If you're experiencing difficulties with translating the complete footer in your website, Solution: We recommend that you first navigate to WPML → String Translation and search for the strings that still need translation. If you do not find them there, you should check the Admin Texts Translation section. For detailed guidance, please visit https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-set-a-different-logo/. If the issue persists, please inform us about how the footer was created (whether through a theme builder, Elementor, WPBakery, widgets, or a custom template). This information will help us determine where the strings are stored and how they should be translated.

Problem: The client was unable to translate products using Elementor after installing the WPML plugin. Certain text within the Product Template was not appearing in the WPML translation editor.
Solution: 1. We advised the client to set the Woodmart Layouts to "Translatable" in WPML > Setting > Post Type Translation > Layouts (woodmart_layout) and then proceed to translate them. 2. For the untranslated string in the footer bar, it should be translated using WPML > String Translation. If the string is not visible there, the client should follow the guide to find and register the string for translation: finding strings that don't appear on the string translation page, and ensure the correct source language is set: how to change the source language of strings. 3. We recommended changing the WPML settings from "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" to "Translatable only show translated items" for both products and templates to ensure proper functionality. 4. We installed an update for the WooCommerce Multilingual addon to address compatibility issues, detailed here: WooCommerce Multilingual 5.5.0.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating a sidebar widget on his page using WPML. The translations are not visible on the page despite being found in WPML. Solution: We have identified that the 'Industroz' theme is not listed on the WPML compatibility list for themes, which suggests a potential compatibility issue. We recommend reaching out to the theme authors and encouraging them to join our Go Global program so we can collaborate to ensure full compatibility with WPML.
