The client is experiencing an issue where the translation functionality in WPML is not working despite checking WPML settings, language configuration, string translation, content translation options, theme and plugin compatibility, and clearing the cache.

Hello WPML Support Team,

I am facing a serious issue with WPML on my domain (hidden link)

The translation functionality is not working at all. I have already checked everything from my side, including:

* WPML settings and language configuration
* String Translation and content translation options
* Theme and plugin compatibility
* Cache cleared and troubleshooting steps followed

Despite all this, translations are still not showing or functioning properly.

At this point, I need your technical assistance to identify the root cause. Please let me know what access or details you require from my side so we can resolve this efficiently.

Looking forward to your support.

Best regards,
Nabeel

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

I’ll need temporary access to your site (WP-Admin and FTP), preferably to a test or staging site where the issue can be reproduced. When you submit your next reply, you’ll find private fields below the comment area where you can safely share these credentials. The information entered there is visible only to you and to me.

Thank you for providing the information.

After reviewing the Advanced Translation Editor logs, I noticed a recurring error indicating that the site key is not found. To resolve this, please try the following steps:
1. Log in to your WPML account at https://wpml.org and delete the old (existing) site key associated with this site.
2. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New → Commercial and click Unregister WPML from this site.
3. Once the page reloads, click Register WPML. When prompted for a site key, click Get a key for this site.
4. In your WPML account, complete the site key wizard and make sure to set the site as a Production site.

After completing these steps, please test whether you can create and complete translations successfully.

If the issue still persists, let me know, and please provide the exact steps to reproduce it so I can investigate further.
