Background of the issue:
I have two connected sites on the same WPMU installation, both sharing translation credits. In testing, I translated strings on one site using WPML and again translated the same string on another site.

Symptoms:
Translation memory is not being shared between the two sites, resulting in the deduction of translation credits from the account for the same strings.

Questions:
What should I do to avoid consumption of credits when translating the same strings on two different subsites?

what is the life of translation memory, will it persist if I fail to renew subscription before expiry date and resubscribe at a later date

Hi there,

Please share the URL of both sites that should share the translation memory so I can review them from our side.

The translation memory remains even after a missed renewal as it is saved in the cloud under your site's Organization ID.

Thank you for the screenshots!

For "Description" if you click on the item to add the translation, does it display the translation via translation memory or is it still blank?

I can verify that both URLs are under the same organization and sharing the same translation memory.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **

I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.

Thank you,
Bobby
