Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating content using an XLIFF file and the WPML built-in translation editor. After setting the ACF field to 'Translate' and resaving the page, the exported XLIFF file still shows the target content in the source language, and the WPML translation editor appears blank. Solution: First, ensure that all WPML and related plugins (such as ACF) are updated to the latest versions. After updating, you should edit the original content where the ACF field was changed, save it, and then attempt the translation again. It's important to translate from the original content into the second language using one consistent method, either all through WPML editors or all manually, but not a mix of both. If you previously used manual translation methods and wish to switch to using WPML editors, be aware that you will need to re-translate the content as WPML will not recognize manually added translations in the second language.

Problem: You are using a WP Query to retrieve posts in a specific language, but the query returns posts in both languages despite the permalinks being correct. Solution: We recommend adding the
suppress_filters => false
parameter to your query. By default, the
get_posts()
function has
suppress_filters
set to true, which you need to explicitly override. Here's how you can modify your query:
This change should ensure that the query only returns posts from the selected language.
