Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where WPML requests the translation of an entire page after updating a single block on your homepage, this is due to the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) treating modified content as new because there's no translation memory match for the updated paragraph. Solution:
Since the paragraph content was modified and there is no existing translation memory match for the updated paragraph, the Advanced Translation Editor treats it as new content and requires it to be translated again as a new paragraph. However, the existing translation will still be displayed on the front-end.

Problem: You are unable to translate certain pages on your website using the Advanced Translation Editor or automatic translation. You receive an error message indicating that WPML tried to translate the page three times and failed. Solution: The issue might be caused by your hosting provider blocking the request through a firewall or another security layer, or the specific page may contain data or content that causes the translation job submission to fail. We recommend: 1. Updating the problematic widget on the original page by recreating it. 2. Alternatively, consider keeping and using the duplicated page instead of the original one.

Problem: The client was unable to translate elements of the homepage after moving the site to a new domain. Despite the frontend displaying translated text, backend translation functionalities were not working. Solution: 1. We requested access to the client's site to investigate the issue further. For security, we advised the client to back up their site and provided a link to our privacy policy: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/. 2. After gaining access, we utilized WPML's troubleshooting tools which resolved the issue, allowing the homepage to be opened and translated. 3. We identified potential issues with unusually long HTML strings related to Figma, which might have affected content processing. By duplicating and re-translating the page, the problem was resolved. 4. We suggested the client check with their hosting provider for any firewall or security rules that might be blocking requests, as this could explain the inconsistent behavior.
