Problem: You are using WPML version 4.7.4 and have noticed that after translation, the process shows a gear icon instead of the pencil icon, indicating that translations are being sent to a local translator instead of completing directly. Solution: We recommend updating your WPML to the latest version, which is 4.7.6. After updating, please test the functionality again. If the issue persists, follow these steps: 1. Go to WPML → Settings and ensure that the WPML Advanced Translation Editor is activated. 2. Navigate to WPML → Translation Management, select a job, and send it for automatic translation. 3. Verify that you are listed as a translator under WPML → Translation Management → Translators. If these steps do not resolve the issue, the solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case.

Problem: The client needs to create pages with different templates while keeping the 'Synchronize Page Template' option active in WPML, which is necessary for sending pages for translation. However, enabling this option forces all linked translations to use the same template, which conflicts with the need for different templates on individual pages. Solution: We recommend manually translating the pages that require different templates. This approach allows you to maintain different templates on individual pages while keeping the 'Synchronize Page Template' option active for other needs. You can find detailed instructions on how to manually translate pages here: Using different translation editors for different pages.

Problem: The client is working on a multi-language project using WPML and needs to create custom language codes (e.g., fr_ml for French, de_ml for German) for their website. They are concerned about how these custom codes will affect translations sent to the third-party service Lilt and whether it impacts the default locales. Solution: 1. If you're using custom language codes, you need to inform us so we can map these codes in our proxy. Please contact us with the codes and corresponding languages. Additionally, you should notify the translation service (Lilt) to make necessary adjustments. 2. The custom language code itself does not significantly impact the process as long as it is correctly mapped. However, it might affect existing translations of plugin/theme strings that are specific to standard language codes (e.g., fr instead of fr_ml). 3. We will handle the mapping of these custom language codes in our proxy to ensure they correspond to the correct languages.
