Problem: The client needed to manually edit a translated article that was broken.
Solution: We recommended that the client deactivate the WPML Translation Editor before manually editing the content to avoid issues with synchronization that could result in overwritten content. We provided a link to our documentation on how to use different translation editors for different pages: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we encourage you to check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.
Problem: The client is using automatic translation for their website and is now entering a second phase where they want to add keywords to the original language posts and manually translate different keywords for the translated posts. They are concerned about updates in the original language overriding the manual translations in the translated posts. Additionally, they have an issue with a translated post not picking up changes from the original post. Solution: We recommend deactivating the WPML editor for the specific posts/pages or the full Custom Post Type (CPT) and activating the manual translation mode. This allows direct editing in the Block Editor or Page Builder. Detailed instructions can be found here: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
