The client installed WordPress in German (Sie) and then WPML, which switched to German (Du). In the meta tags, 'german-formal' appears, which the client believes is not good for SEO. They need to tag the website as being in German while using formal German with WPML.
Solution:
We recommend adding a function to the theme's child functions.php file to modify the HTML language attribute for German. Here is the code you should use:
add_filter('language_attributes', 'modify_language_attributes_for_german');
function modify_language_attributes_for_german($lang) {
// Check if the current language is German
$my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
if ($my_current_lang === 'de') {
// Replace the language code for German
return 'lang="de-DE"';
}
return $lang; // Keep default language attributes for other languages
}

The client is experiencing an issue where the 'saving' button keeps spinning indefinitely when trying to edit a product in a different language using WPML, despite the changes apparently being saved.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps:
1) Ensure you have the latest version of WPML String Translation. You may need to check for updates in the Plugins>>Add New>>Commercial tab.

Problem:
The client is unable to locate and translate the text above the search box in the Kadence modal search box on their website.
Solution:
We advised the client that the text they are trying to translate is added through the theme's functions.php file and is not set up for translation by default.
To make this text translatable, they should replace the existing function in
functions.php
with the following code:
function kt_add_form_title( $form ) {
$content = '<div class="search-modal-content"><h5>' . __('What are you looking for?', 'your-text-domain') . '</h5></div>';
return $content . $form;
}
After updating the function, they should navigate to WPML->Themes and Plugin Localization to scan the theme and then translate the text using WPML's String Translation. For more details on theme internationalization, visit WordPress Theme Internationalization.

Problem: You are trying to resolve an issue where the updated PLN prices via BaseLinker's API are visible in the WooCommerce product backend but do not reflect on the frontend without manual updates. This behavior differs from EUR prices, which update immediately. Solution: Firstly, BaseLinker is not officially compatible with WPML, which might be causing the issue. We recommend contacting BaseLinker's authors to consider joining our GoGlobal program to work towards compatibility: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ If PLN is your second currency and you are updating it, WPML synchronizes changes when the post is saved. You might need to trigger a re-save of the post using hooks like
save_post
or
update_post
. This approach may require additional custom coding. For custom coding, consider hiring a contractor from WPML: https://wpml.org/contractors/

Problem: You are experiencing a mismatch between Product ID and Variation ID in your ERP system due to WPML's handling of translations, which assigns unique IDs for translated products and their variations. Solution: We recommend using WPML’s built-in API or hooks to translate secondary language variation IDs back to the main language IDs before exporting to your ERP. For example, you can use the following code to fetch the main language ID for a product variation:
Please note that such customization falls outside the standard support scope. If you need help implementing this, consider hiring a professional developer from WPML Contractors.

The client is building a bilingual website using WPML, with custom post types created via CPT UI. The specific issue is that accessing posts in English under the /exhibitions slug leads to a 404 error.
Solution:
1) Disable slug translations in WPML>>Settings>>Slug translations, then save the changes. 2) Resave the permalink settings under Settings>>Permalinks. 3) Clear all types of caches. 4) If the issue persists, it might be due to a compatibility conflict with the customized theme. We recommend testing with the default WordPress theme to check if the issue still occurs. 5) Ensure you are using the latest version of WPML String Translation and clear WPML caches from WPML>>Support>>Troubleshooting. 6) Resave the settings under WPML>>Languages>>Language URL format and Settings>>Permalinks again.

Problem: The client needs to modify the language URL format to include country codes like /ca/fr/ and /us/en/ in their WordPress site using WPML. They attempted to modify the
REQUEST_URI
in an init hook but were unable to change the permalink structure as desired. Solution: We informed the client that achieving this URL format with WPML directly is not possible without additional custom coding. Since this requires complex code and might cause side effects, we recommended hiring a WPML contractor for professional assistance. You can find a suitable contractor by visiting https://wpml.org/contractors/.

Problem: You are developing a site and need to add a custom currency or set different prices for different languages using the same currency. You found that the multi-currency plugin allows adding currencies like Solana or Bitcoin, and you are wondering if you can add your own custom currency to set different prices per currency. Solution: 1) Adding a custom currency is not a feature provided by WPML but by WooCommerce. You should add your custom currency to WooCommerce, and then you can use it in WPML/WCML. We recommend checking the WooCommerce developer documentation on how to add a custom currency symbol here: https://woocommerce.com/document/add-a-custom-currency-symbol/ 2) It is not possible to set different prices for different languages using the same currency in WPML. Each language version of a product is a translation of another, so the content and prices should remain consistent unless they are created as separate products.
