Problem:
The client is trying to translate the 404 system page using WPML, but in the translation editor, no elements appear except for the title of the page.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps:
1. Open the default language 404 template in Edit mode.
2. Make a small change, such as adding a space or a + sign in your page/post title.
3. Update the page by pressing the “Update” button.
4. Remove the small change you made in step 2.
5. Update the template again.
6. Open the translated page in the WPML Translation Editor and check if the text and buttons are now available for translation.
If the issue persists, we suggest providing temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site, preferably a staging site, so we can look into your setup and debug the issue. Please ensure to back up your database and website before making changes.

Problem:
The client needs to manage translations with fewer paragraphs than the original Italian page and is unable to leave some translation paragraphs empty. The option to merge text boxes is not always available, and there are concerns about using the Classic Translation Editor because changes may disappear upon refreshing the translation.
Solution:
We recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor for automatic sentence-by-sentence translation, but it does not allow skipping or removing specific sentences or leaving fields blank. For complete control over the content structure of the translated version, manually translate the page. You can duplicate your default language page into another language and edit the duplicated version using the same editor as the original. If you used Elementor for your default language page, continue using Elementor to edit the translation, thus avoiding the Classic Translation Editor altogether. For detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on using different translation editors for different pages.
