Problem: The client wants to translate the link of the logo on their multilingual site so that it redirects to the homepage of the respective language. The site is built with Elementor, and the client is unable to find documentation on how to change the link in the logo. Solution: 1. Verify that the header is created using Elementor. 2. Translate the logo link by following the steps outlined in the WPML documentation on translating links, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/. 3. If the header has not been translated, complete the translation by accessing the header template in the WordPress admin area at
. 4. You can locate the header templates in Elementor by navigating to Elementor > Theme Builder > Header tab.

Problem: You are using Elementor with WPML on your site and have encountered an issue where updating a custom field in one language affects the other language in an Elementor Loop Carousel. Specifically, when you update the custom field setting in the English version, it also changes the setting for the Polish version, due to shared widget configuration across languages. Solution: To resolve this issue, we recommend using a manual translation approach to prevent synchronization of the custom fields across different languages. You can find detailed instructions on how to implement this by visiting the following documentation: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if you continue to experience issues.
The customer was unable to find and translate hardcoded text from their homepage using WPML’s String Translation feature, even after scanning the theme and plugins. They also experienced an issue where fonts were not loading correctly in the WPML admin panel, but they were advised to open a separate ticket for that.
Solution:
1. We first suggested enabling Auto Register in WPML > String Translation and refreshing the front end to check if the missing text appears for translation.
2. Then, we provided the correct method to make the hardcoded text translatable by wrapping it inside the "__()" or "_e()" functions in PHP, which registers the strings for WPML’s String Translation module.
3. The customer later asked how to make the FAQ section translatable. Mihai explained that:
- The FAQ title should be wrapped in "__()" or "_e()".
- The FAQ questions needed to be registered as translatable strings using "apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $question, 'FAQ', 'FAQ Question ' . $count);"
- The FAQ answers should be registered the same way if they are stored dynamically.
4. We also advised scanning WPML > Theme and Plugin Localization if the strings still didn’t appear.
5. Finally, we noted that implementing these solutions requires custom work, which falls outside WPML’s support policy, but we provided guidance to help the customer move forward.
Problem: The client modified the English part of a string in their custom theme's PHP file and updated the translation in WPML, but the Polish tag archive pages still displayed the untranslated string 'Sorted articles by'. Solution: 1. Ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest versions and check if the issue persists when all other plugins are disabled, using only WPML plugins. 2. Test the translation of the modified string on different pages and with the default WordPress theme, such as 2021, to see if the issue is specific to the custom theme. 3. Replace the variable in the gettext function with a literal string for the text domain in the PHP file:
4. Rescan the theme for strings in WPML under 'Theme and plugins localization' and then translate the strings again in 'String Translation'.

Problem: The client was unable to edit English posts with a user account that lacked proper language pair assignments in WPML's translation management. Solution: We advised the client to assign the user as a translator with the appropriate language pairs via WPML->Translation Management->Translators. Additionally, we addressed an issue where the Translation Management screen appeared blank. This was resolved by ensuring the user had administrator privileges and by refreshing the WPML license status. Steps included removing and re-adding the site in the WPML account to generate a new key, unregistering, and re-registering WPML in the Plugins section.

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where almost all pages had the correct breadcrumb translation, but one page displayed an English text in the breadcrumb instead of the expected language.
Solution: We found that the text in question was set manually for the default language within the theme options. To resolve this, we added the text for translation via the admin text option in WPML. This allowed the client to translate the breadcrumb text correctly. We provided documentation to help understand how to translate strings that don't appear on the String Translation page:
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend you try adding the text for translation through the WPML admin text option and then translate it accordingly.

Problem: The client was unable to update the site title and subtitle in different languages. Previously, they could change these in the settings under 'General' for each language, but now saving changes in one language caused the titles to revert to English.
Solution: 1. We clarified that the site title from WordPress settings is not the same as the page content/title. The client should add the title in the default language and then translate it using WPML String Translation.
2. We identified that the string the client mentioned is from an SEO plugin and appears in different parts of the website/code. We provided documentation on how to set SEO titles and descriptions:
4. We also addressed the client's concern about translations disappearing and suggested re-translating the strings or importing them back from an old backup if available.
In a follow-up, we reiterated that while it is possible to add translations for the site title in WP Settings in both languages, it is not the recommended approach. Instead, the client should use WPML String Translation, referencing the following sources:
