[Resolved] WPML problems from Development naar Production! WPML errors!
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
After changing the website from WPML Development to Production, some translations are missing, and links are not working correctly. For instance, the translation for the "Beschrijving" tab in Dutch is displaying as "Bes," and links such as "BOOK THIS TOUR" are not functioning as expected. The issue seems to affect some pages, and the user is unable to locate the German translation for certain buttons.
Solution:
go to WPML->Supporrt->Troubleshooting-> Show custom MO Files Pre generation dialog box to trigger the .mo file generation
Once I run it - it finishes successfully generating the .mo files with no error.

I changed website in WPML from Development to Productions. Although they look fine in ATE (as far I can see) = I emptied all Caches
Before I did that, Translations were fine, After, I see SOME Translation Missing, and Links do not work. Some examples:
Product Page (Translation of TAB = Bes
Dutch = TAB = Beschrijving hidden link
Spanish = TAB = Descricion hidden link
German = TAB = Beschreibung hidden link
Also some links do not work anymore, some examples (they were 100% okay for change from WPML Development to WPML Productions!
Some examples:
Page Not Found | Tourguide Costa Rica (tourguide-costarica.com)
Klik in button
Page not found!
Buttons (which were translated, again in English) = BOOK THIS TOUR = should be BUCHEN SIE DIESE TOUR), just an example!!
Cahuita Nationalpark | Eingang Cahuita | Tourguide Costa Rica (tourguide-costarica.com) hidden link
So translations were fine, now in Production Stage, it is messed up big time☹
I am putting now back-up back, before it went wrong, so before I changed WPML Development, to Registration.
Then you can see what happens, you have all my input and logins.
This is crucial!! (okay, I might lose some work), no problems, but in Costa Rica this kind of problem I cannot handle there. And my time frame is not long anymore!

Anton

Unfortunately, this is not something that I have been able to reproduce. As mentioned switching from development to live does not affect your translations, this is all done on a license level which does not have anything to do with translations and does not affect their database tables.
1. On the pages the translation is missing what are your results if you add the missing translation and save it -- does it work ok?
2. You mentioned you have a backup, using that backup are you able to reproduce this behavior?
Also do note that this thread is a public thread only chat support is not public, we can remove any information you do not want displaying but we do not have the option to mark it "private"

Hi Bobby,
I got this message, with the ATE I could change now the product pages:
Still not sure, (cannot find the German translation for the 3 button) on this page:
"""
Buttons (which were translated, again in English) = BOOK THIS TOUR = should be BUCHEN SIE DIESE TOUR), just an example!!
Cahuita Nationalpark | Eingang Cahuita | Tourguide Costa Rica (tourguide-costarica.com) hidden link""""
Strange thing in the ATE if I look for English Book this Tour, it does not show up, so not sure, ho to translate, strange thing, for most pages it works well.

Anton

These 3 buttons you are mentioning how are they added? Are they default buttons from your theme or 3rd party plugin or did you add them manually using your page builder.
What are your results if you make a small change in the default language of the page and update then update the translation again, does the Book Now button translate?
For example, when I view the button in Spanish it shows translated, therefore possibly the German translation is missing. hidden link
Will try that. I have major problems now, my default shop page does not work, see below. I can not figure out, what this caused, hosting provider (will also check with Divi / Woo Commerce.
That button thing, I will try, but these button do not show up anymore in the (default ATE), rest is solved by the way.
Please have al look at below message (buttons is minor now - will try the small change!)
Regards,
Anton

Note, suddenly got this WPML message (please 2nd tier support), I can / bad internet in Costa Rica and tomorrow gone.
WPML String Translation is attempting to write .mo files with translations to folder:
/mnt/web104/c1/22/511847122/htdocs/STRATO-apps/wordpress_02/app/wp-content/languages
This folder appears to be not writable. This is blocking translation for strings from appearing on the site.
To resolve this, please contact your hosting company and request that they make that folder writable.
For more details, see WPML's documentation on troubleshooting .mo files generation.
