Problem: The client reported issues with widgets being disorganized after changing the default language. They were unable to translate headers, footers, and certain WooCommerce settings independently. Additionally, the 'My Account' icon/link was not functioning correctly across different languages, and changes made with WPML were breaking the website. Solution: For translating widgets, we advised the client to use the WPML > String Translation section. It is necessary to delete and then re-add the widgets, likely due to the default language switch. We provided a video tutorial to assist with this process: https://www.loom.com/share/5afc277cc99c4783ad12a48f8a1c0d56. Regarding the 'My Account' icon/link, it was not added as a widget. We created a separate support ticket to address this issue, and the client can follow up there: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-translate-my-account-icon-link/.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with widgets being disorganized after changing the default language. They are unable to translate widgets independently, specifically headers and footers, and are facing difficulties with translating WooCommerce settings for emails. Additionally, the shop page URL is broken, and attempts to modify settings with WPML result in further disruptions. Solution: For the shop page URL issue, since the shop page was initially created in English, you can directly edit its URL in the page editor. To modify the translation's URL (for Bulgarian, in this case), you need to enable the Page URL translation in WPML > Settings. Choose "Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title)" under "Translated documents options". After enabling this, you can change the translated page URL inside WPML's Translation Editor. For more details on translating slugs, visit Translating Page Slugs documentation.
Please note, you should not directly edit a translated page slug via the WordPress Editor.

Problem: You are trying to translate the currency sign (лв.) to BGN on the English version of your site. Solution: First, ensure you have a backup of your site. Then, insert the following code into your theme's functions.php file:
add_filter("woocommerce_currency_symbol", "change_existing_currency_symbol", 10, 2);
function change_existing_currency_symbol($currency_symbol, $currency) {
switch ($currency) {
case "BGN": // Assuming BGN is the currency code for Bulgarian Lev
if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == "en") {
$currency_symbol = __("лв.", "your-domain-name-here");
} else {
$currency_symbol = __("лв.", "your-domain-name-here"); // You can provide a different symbol for other languages if needed
}
break;
}
return $currency_symbol;
}
