Problem: You are trying to delete a paragraph from the translated version of a WooCommerce product because the text in English is not the same as in French, but you are unable to do so. Solution: If you need to remove a paragraph from the translated version, it is not possible directly through the WPML translation editor as both versions need to maintain consistency. To create a different version of the translated page that does not include the paragraph, you must manually edit the translation without using the WPML editor. For detailed guidance on using different translation methods for different pages, please refer to our documentation: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

Problem:
The client needed to change a hardcoded English string and its French translation within a plugin file. Solution:
1. We located the hardcoded text in the plugin file at
on line 776.
2. We edited the file to change the text to 'You can add a maximum of %1$s %2$s's. You already have %4$s.'
3. We scanned the plugin 'advanced-product-quantity' in WPML -> Theme and plugins localization, which added the edited string under the domain 'addify-product-qty'.
4. We translated the string to French as 'Vous pouvez ajouter un maximum de %1$s %2$s's. Vous avez déjà %4$s.'
5. We advised the client that since the text was changed directly in the plugin file, any updates or replacements of the plugin would override this change. We recommended contacting the plugin author to request a feature in the wp-admin for customizing this text.

Problem:
Users with editor user role are not able to see/edit translations done by other users and instead redirected to WPML -> Translations page Solution:
- Edit theme/child theme functions.php and place/save the following code in the file. This will allow all Editor users on the site to edit translations done by other users also.
add_filter('wpml_user_can_translate', function ($user_can_translate, $user){
if (in_array('editor', (array) $user->roles, true) && current_user_can('translate')) {
return true;
}
return $user_can_translate;
}, 10, 2);
