Problem: The client wanted to delete a language and all its database entries, but the process was not completing. Solution: First, we recommended increasing the memory limit and ensuring that all components are up to date. We provided a link to a related support ticket for reference: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/cant-delete-languages-stuck-in-a-loop/
Please note that the solution might be irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case.

Problem: The client is using Woocommerce Memberships and has set this custom post type to be translatable. As a result, instead of having 5 memberships, the client ended up with 25 memberships due to the 5 different languages. The client needs only 5 memberships with translated names, not separate memberships for each language.
Solution: We have reviewed the issue and concluded that it is not possible to translate only the title of a custom post type while keeping the rest untranslated. When you set a post type as translatable, it affects the entire post type (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/). A custom solution is required for the client's specific needs, which is beyond the scope of our support forum. We recommend contacting WPML Contractors for a custom approach (https://wpml.org/contractors/).

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue similar to one discussed in a previous support forum thread, specifically with WooCommerce Memberships and WPML.
Solution: We first verified that WooCommerce Memberships is compatible with WPML by checking the compatibility page: https://wpml.org/plugin/woocommerce-memberships/. We then asked the client to provide more details about the issue they were facing, including screenshots to help us understand the problem better. The client found a solution by changing the setting to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language", which resolved their issue.
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend checking the compatibility of WooCommerce Memberships with WPML and trying the setting "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" to see if it resolves the problem.

Problem: Client experienced missing entries in the WPML admin menu and are unable to find the 'Languages' option necessary for setup.r/>Solution: We recommend disabling all plugins temporarily to see if this allows the WPML setup wizard to continue. Once the conflicting plugins are disabled, you should be able to complete the WPML setup wizard and configure your language options. After the setup is complete, you can then re-enable your plugins one by one to identify the one causing the conflict.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we suggest opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us in the WPML support forum.
Problem: The client needed assistance with setting up WPML for different English and German language regions, translating strings in popups, using language files before adding string translations with WPML, and understanding how select lists in dropdowns are ordered after translation.
Solution: 1. To set up WPML for different language regions, we recommend creating a custom language and adding the correct language code for each region, such as /en-us/, /en-gb/, /de-de/, /de-ch/, etc.
2. For translating strings in popups, if the popup plugin is officially compatible with WPML, we suggest checking our documentation here: https://wpml.org/plugin/. If it's not compatible, the client should check with the plugin author or open a new support ticket with us for potential workarounds.
4. The order of select lists in dropdowns is not controlled by WPML; it depends on the theme, plugin, or WordPress itself. WPML only translates the content, but usually, the order will follow the same rule as in the default language.
If the provided solution does not apply or is outdated, or if you encounter issues not covered here, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.
Problem: The client wants to know how to use DEEPL for automatic translation with control over what content gets translated and when it is ready. Solution: To translate specific pages, posts, or other types of content, we recommend selecting 'Translate What You Choose' in the WPML setup wizard or under WPML → Settings. Ensure that DEEPL is set as the translation engine. After completing the setup, you can manage the content you wish to translate automatically through the Translation Management Dashboard. For detailed steps, please refer to our documentation on translating individual pages, posts, and other content automatically.
