[Waiting for user confirmation] Bulk translating WooCommerce product categories with DeepL in WPML

Hi,

After setting my user as a translator in WPML -> Translation Management -> Translators, I was able to send to the homepage for automatic translation. Please see the attached screenshot dev-is-translator.jpg. I clicked the plus icon next to the Lithuanian language. Please see the attached screenshot trans-homepage.jpg. I then obtained the Advanced Translation Editor, which automatically filled in the translations into Lithuanian. Please see the attached screenshot ate.jpg. Now I can switch to hidden link and see that it is in Lithuanian. Please see the attached screenshot Lithuanian.jpg.

To translate many product categories automatically and in bulk, please read this guide: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-all-taxonomy-terms-at-once/.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Itamar.

Hi,

Currently, I'm getting a 404 page for hidden link.

You asked:

How could I delink lithuanian lang homepage from english translation so I could be able to edit it manually and fix remaining issues myself?

You can create the /lt/ page independently and then connect it to the English homepage by following this guide.

https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/

You can also start with the English design by first duplicating the English page into /lt/ and then translating it independently by following this guide.

https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

Does the above information help you to solve the problem?

Hi,

OK, thanks for adding more information about your case.
I had no idea you changed the default language of the site.

Are you managing to solve this issue, or need further help from me?
I'm unsure if you are asking me a question or managing yourself.

Hi,

In this case, you need to follow what we call the "manual translation process". It is explained in the following guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/. In this process, you first duplicate the original Lithuanian page into English. This will make it look exactly like the Lithuanian page, including the text in Lithuanian. In this method, the layout will be copied over from Lithuanian to English. Next, click the "Translate independently" button, edit the English page using the Bakery editor, and then replace the Lithuanian text with English.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Itamar.

Hi,

OK, I get it that the page was created in English when it was the default language of the site. Then you translated it into Lithuanian. And later, you changed the default language of the site to Lithuanian. What is essential to keep in mind in such cases is to keep editing this specific page (and others that were created before the default language change) in the same order. Considering English as the original language of this page (although it is no longer the site's default language), we will first make changes (if needed) on the English page and then on the Lithuanian translation.

WPBakery is officially compatible with WPML. When working with it and with WPML, one must follow the guide we have here: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/how-to-build-multilingual-sites-with-wpbakery-page-builder-and-wpml/. If the theme or another plugin extends WPBakery and adds new elements, then translation support must be added by following this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/maintaining-wpbakery-page-builder-compatibility-with-wpml/.

I can see that the Lithuanian translation of the homepage is in progress. Please see the attached screenshot in-progress.jpg. This means that you have not completed it in WPML's Translation Editor, and therefore, it might cause the problems you see on the Lithuanian page. Here is what I suggest you try next. First, try to complete the translation in WPML's Translation Editor and see if it translates everything and the layout (and the missing products section shows).

Please try this and tell me how it goes. If the Lithuanian page is still not as it should be afterwards, then tell me and I'll give you other options to try.

Regards,
Itamar.
