Problem: You are trying to save manual translations using WPML, but after clicking 'Translate Next Line,' the previous translation area appears blank. The translation still exists but only shows as blank when the mouse is moved away. Solution: We recommend updating your WPML plugin and add-ons to the latest version, specifically to 4.8.3, to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements. You can find the latest versions in your WPML account under My Account -> Downloads. If updates are not visible, you might need to click the 'Check for updates' button in the Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial tab. Remember to backup your database before proceeding. If the issue persists, try creating a new test page to see if the problem continues.

Problem: The client is developing a site and after adding a new language using WPML, the translated page redirects to the home page instead of the intended page. Additionally, there is an issue with the WPML plugin not connecting to wpml.org for updates. Solution: 1. To address the update issue, first try refreshing the installer caches by navigating to Plugins > Add New > Commercial tab and clicking on the 'Check for updates' button. If this does not resolve the issue, consider manually updating WPML by following these steps: - Download the latest version of WPML from https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ - Deactivate and delete the current WPML plugin from Plugins. - Upload and activate the latest version downloaded. 2. For the redirection issue, ensure that the page is 100% translated and published. If the problem persists, we may need temporary access to your site to further investigate the issue. Please ensure you have a full backup of your site before providing access.

Problem: You are working on a site using WPML to translate pages and have encountered an issue where only the title of a page is displayed for translation, while other elements like small tools and product collections are missing. Solution: If you are trying to translate WooCommerce pages, remember that they consist of shortcodes, and typically, only titles should be translated. For translating other content such as theme tools or WooCommerce shortcodes, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations. 2. Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option. 3. Visit the page on the front-end where the string is shown; this action will automatically register strings from that page. 4. Return to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations and disable the previously enabled options. 5. Search for the strings in WPML->String Translations and translate them.

Problem: You are developing a site and want to translate the WooCommerce shop cart and other pages using WPML, but when you open these pages, they return a 404 error. Solution:
The WCML add-on from WPML creates translations for WooCommerce Cart and Checkout pages in the setup wizard.
If WooCommerce or your theme do not provide translations for the Cart and Checkout pages, you can translate them yourself. To do this:
1. Go to WPML > Translation Dashboard
2. Scroll to Other texts (Strings).
In the All domains dropdown, select your theme or plugin domain.
Choose the strings you want to translate and send them for translation.
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend following the detailed instructions in our guide to translating WooCommerce with WPML.
