Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the content of translated posts is overwritten by the default language's content upon publishing, even if the post is published in the original language first, you are not alone. This problem persists even after following the workaround suggested in the WPML errata. Solution: We recommend trying to deactivate the String Translation plugin to see if this resolves the issue. However, we understand that deactivating the String Translation plugin may not be feasible for many sites due to dependency on the plugin. Unfortunately, currently, deactivating WPML String Translation is the only solution we can offer for this specific problem. A WPML Update that solves this issue is planned for Monday the 19th of May 2025.

Problem: When saving the original English version of a page, the translated versions (French, Spanish, UK) revert to English. The client follows steps to duplicate the US version of the article and set the duplicated pages to 'Translate Independently'. Solution: Temporarily disable WPML String Translation when creating a new manual translation using the WordPress Editor. This is a known issue detailed here: https://wpml.org/errata/editing-translated-posts-directly-can-result-in-lost-content/.
Note: An update from WPML that addresses this issue is expected soon, though no specific release date is available.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with WPML and ACF repeater fields in a multilingual setup using WordPress Classic Editor. Specifically, when you delete a row or change the order of rows in the default language, the translated versions become misaligned. You are looking for a way to prevent repeater row shifting/desync when editing the default language, maintain translation support only for one subfield while keeping other fields copied or fixed, and avoid full manual reordering and re-entry across all languages. Solution: This issue is related to a known problem currently under investigation by our developers. You can find more details here: https://wpml.org/errata/advanced-custom-fields-multilingual-reordering-repeater-fields-makes-the-translations-unsynchronised/ When using the WordPress Editor to create translations, ensure all ACF Fields are set to "Copy once". This setting ensures that fields are only copied once and then become editable in the translated content. Additionally, set "ACF Field Groups" at WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation to "Not translatable". More details on setting up ACF fields with WPML can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/

Problem: If you're using WPML with WordPress, Elementor, and the Elementor Pro Form widget, and you notice that when translating a form's dropdown field into Italian, the options appear incorrectly as a single string instead of separate lines, resulting in a broken dropdown. Solution: We are aware of this issue and it has been escalated to our developers. A fix is planned for a future release of WPML. You can track updates on this issue by visiting the errata page: Elementor Form Widget Select Field Breaks When Translated with CTE. In the meantime, we recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). If you prefer not to use ATE, you can opt for a manual translation approach. For guidance on using different translation editors, please visit: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
