Problem: The client is trying to set up multiple Google Tag Manager (GTM) IDs for each domain on their multilingual site using WPML with multiple domains enabled. They could not find relevant information on how to configure multiple GTM IDs with WPML. Solution: We recommend adding different GTM IDs for each domain by integrating them directly into the site's code.

Problem: The client is trying to retrieve German orders from the WooCommerce GET order API but wants the products to be displayed in the default language, Dutch. Including 'wpml_language=nl' in the API request causes German orders to be missed, and removing it results in products being displayed in German. Solution: We recommend removing the 'wpml_language' parameter from the API request and instead adding the 'lang' parameter with the value 'all'. This adjustment has shown to display all orders (both Dutch and German) with the products in Dutch, which is the desired outcome. If this solution continues to work, it should be noted that it might be an undocumented feature and could potentially stop working in the future.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the auto-translated product descriptions do not maintain the original line breaks, resulting in all paragraphs merging into one, we can help.

Make sure to select the "Overwrite existing translations" option.
