Problem: You have translated your site from Dutch to English and German, but the translations are not visible in the translation manager, although they appear on the frontend. Specifically, translations for text fields added by the WooCommerce Product Tabs plugin are missing in the translation manager. Solution: We recommend ensuring that all translations are completed to 100% in the Translation Editor. Only fully completed translations will update and display in the translation manager. Once a translation is fully completed and saved, any changes should synchronize across both the frontend and the translation manager.

Problem: The client was experiencing issues with unexpected formatting markers appearing in the original text while using WPML, which were preventing the saving of translated segments. Solution: We advised the client to check the original content in the HTML/code editor to locate and remove any unwanted HTML markers. For translating, we suggested using the copy button in the Advanced Translation Editor to include HTML markers in the translation. If issues persisted, we recommended breaking larger text segments into smaller ones and using automatic translation to facilitate saving. Additionally, we suggested updating the page to trigger a refresh in the translation editor, which could help remove outdated formatting markers. For those preferring not to use automatic translations, switching to the Classic Translation Editor was recommended as it does not rely on automatic features.

Problem: You are developing a multilingual site using WPML and want to automatically update specific pages in real time when you update them, but not all pages. Solution: Initially, it might seem that enabling the Translate Everything mode in WPML->Settings would solve this. However, since you need selective page updates rather than updating all pages, this mode is not suitable. Here's the step-by-step process you should follow: 1. Assume you have a page titled 'about us' in English (default language) and translated into Spanish. 2. When you make changes to the English page, such as editing the style, the Spanish page will display a "loading circle" icon. 3. Click on this icon to update the translation, and the changes will be applied to the Spanish version. Unfortunately, without using the Translate Everything mode, manual updates are necessary as automatic updates apply to all pages.

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where two links in a translation box on their website were not saving and locking correctly. This problem prevented the translation progress bar from showing 100%, instead displaying only 4% in orange without a corresponding bar. Solution: While preparing to provide access for further investigation by our team, the client rechecked the issue and found that it had resolved itself, with the translation bar now correctly showing 100% and allowing publication.
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend double-checking the functionality after some time or after a refresh, as some issues may resolve on their own. However, if the problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where your translation from English to French is stuck at 95% in the WPML backend and the French version of your webpage is not updating, it might be due to some content not appearing in the translation editor. Solution: We recommend switching to the previous version of the translation editor to check for any untranslated content. Here are the steps to follow: - Open the translation editor. - In the top right corner, click on the gear icon. - Enable the "Use Previous Translation Editor" option. After switching, please complete any untranslated content you find and save the changes. This should allow the French version to display correctly once the translation is fully completed.

Problem: You have reactivated WPML on your site to translate it into Italian and have set it to 'Translate What You Choose'. However, you encounter an error stating 'The original sentence includes formatting markers. However, not all markers are applied to the translation'. Additionally, when trying to edit the home page in Italian using Elementor, the WPML Auto translation tool opens instead of allowing normal translation. Solution: To resolve this issue and use Elementor for translations, you need to disable the WPML editor. Here's how you can do it: 1. Go to the homepage in your original language. 2. In the Languages box, find the toggle to switch between the WPML editor and the WordPress editor. 3. Switch to the WordPress editor. 4. A pop-up will appear asking if you want this change to apply to all pages, all post types, or just this page. Make your selection accordingly.
