Problem: You are trying to create a language switcher for the header menu on your website, but the source code of the language switcher appears instead of the switcher itself. This issue persists regardless of the parameters you configure for the language switcher, while the footer language switcher displays correctly. Solution: We recommend checking if the issue still occurs when using a default theme, as your current theme might be filtering out the dropdown item, preventing the language switcher from being displayed. If the language switcher works correctly with the default theme, consider using a language switcher outside your menu. You might find using a shortcode, widget, or the floating language switcher helpful. For more details on these alternatives, please visit: Custom Language Switcher.

Problem: The client is trying to create custom translations for each post using the WPML Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), skip translation fields, avoid adding HTML, and manage non-WPML plugin translations separately.
Solution: 1. Custom translations with different designs or content amounts cannot be created using ATE; instead, use the WordPress editor. For more details, see this guide. 2. There is no persistent 'undo' button in ATE. To undo automatic translations within the same session, use the available 'Undo translation' button. To redo translations, consider deleting them or resending them via the Translation Management Dashboard. 3. All translation fields must be completed in ATE; to add text not present in the original, or to skip HTML, use the WordPress editor. 4. To exclude WPML ATE from translating content managed by other plugins like WP Recipe Maker, use the WordPress editor.
