Problem: If you're experiencing issues with strings from a plugin showing up translated only when you enable the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option in WPML, it might be due to a database character set configuration. Solution: We recommend checking your
wp-config.php
file for the
DB_CHARSET
definition. If it's set to
utf8
, you should change it to
utf8mb4
to support a wider range of characters, including symbols and special characters. This change can resolve issues with string translation due to character set mismatches.

If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us.
