What's an easier way to translate our site? I just discovered that our contact page in German isn't working at all. I assumed it would just be translated automatically. I'm finding WPML's misfunctions really annoying. Or are the settings simply wrong? Shopify works much better for translations.

How can I quickly translate the contact page without having to manually create the entire page with FAQ articles? I want the Dutch pages to be automatically translated into German, and if I make a change in Dutch, the German pages to be automatically updated as well. How do I do that?

Thanks for your patience. I'm having issues trying to replicate the issue on our sandbox site here hidden link . Here is the login link hidden link . Could you check to see if you're able to replicate the issue on our sandbox site?

If not, I will need a snapshot of the site to troubleshoot this further locally. Alternatively, with your permission, I can create one myself. For this purpose, I typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you're already familiar with Duplicator (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded. https://wpml.org/de/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/

To guide you further, please adhere to these instructions:

1. View the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link

2. If the archive file exceeds 400MB, please use Duplicator's file filters to exclude cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.

Once you have the archive file ready, kindly share the link with us. You can utilize platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar for file sharing, as the snapshot file might be large.

Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the file link there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.
