Problem:
If you're unable to translate the names of sections in a MasterStudy course using WPML, the issue arises because section titles cannot be directly translated. Instead, you need to recreate the sections in the translated version of the course.
Solution:
First, translate the lessons and assignments. Then, create a new course in the desired language and build its curriculum from scratch. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Navigate to MasterStudy > Courses.
2. Use the language selector in the admin bar to switch to the desired language.
3. For the course you want to translate, click "Edit with course builder".
4. Start with an empty curriculum and create new sections, then import the translated lessons and assignments using the 'Search Materials → Import' function. This is where you manually set the translated section titles.
For detailed guidance, check the MasterStudy documentation on course translation here.

Please ensure to back up your website fully before making these changes.

Problem:
If you're setting up translations and notice that clicking through the NL translation of your website results in an internal server error, it might be due to a plugin conflict.
Solution:
We recommend disabling the "LinkMaster" plugin temporarily to see if this resolves the issue. This plugin might be clashing with WPML as both try to control how page URLs are handled, leading to random 500 errors on first page loads. If disabling LinkMaster resolves the issue, and if your primary use of LinkMaster is for creating redirects, consider switching to the Redirection plugin, which is regularly updated and maintained.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with the language switcher on your mobile menu displaying coding instead of language flags and names, it's likely due to the theme bypassing

wp_nav_menu()

and its walkers, using

wp_get_nav_menu_items()

to grab raw items and rebuild its own HTML, which breaks the language switcher.
Solution:
We recommend you try the following steps to resolve this issue:
1. Ensure you have a backup of your site.
2. Open the

...partials/headers/parts/mobile_menu.php

file.
3. Locate around line 17, right below the line:

foreach ( (array) $menu_items as $key => $menu_item ) {

4. Add the following code:

// Detect WPML LS with class 'wpml-ls-item'<br />$classes = is_array( $menu_item->classes ) ? $menu_item->classes : array();<br />if ( in_array( 'wpml-ls-item', $classes, true ) ) {<br />$menu_list .= '<div class="stm_lms_categories_dropdown__parent">';<br />$menu_list .= do_shortcode( '[wpml_language_switcher]' );<br />$menu_list .= '</div>' + "\n";<br />continue;<br />}

Alternatively, you can use a custom language switcher and add it manually to the theme templates. For more details, visit Adding Language Switchers using PHP and Shortcodes.
