Problem:
experiencing an issue where the Translations Screen in WPML displayed the message 'Jobs could not be loaded' and did not show any translation jobs. The screen for String Translations indicated 'Waiting for Translator' and did not allow editing of pending translations.
Solution:
The issue was caused by a conflict with another plugin. Deactivating non WPML plugins resolved the issue.
Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the English menu is missing in the WP Admin → Appearance → Menus, despite being visible on the frontend. Additionally, the French and German menus appear outdated in the admin panel, although WPML → WP Menus Sync indicates that the menus are synchronized. Solution: 1. Perform WPML Troubleshooting Steps: - Navigate to WPML → Support → Troubleshooting in your WordPress dashboard. - Under the 'Clean up' section, click the following buttons one by one: - Synchronize posts taxonomies - Clear the cache in WPML - Remove ghost entries from the translation tables - Fix element_type collation - Set language information - Synchronize local job IDs - Fix Terms count - Fix post assignment for translations 2. Check and Re-assign Your English Menu: - After the troubleshooting steps, go to Appearance → Menus. - Use the language switcher to select English. - If the English menu still does not appear, go to Manage Locations and assign the correct English menu. 3. Synchronize Menus for French and German: - Ensure the English menu is displayed and assigned, then go to WPML → WP Menus Sync and synchronize the French and German menus. 4. Verify Menu Item Translations: - Check that all menu items are properly translated, possibly using WPML → String Translation for custom link labels.

Problem: The client needs a dedicated French (Morocco) version of their WooCommerce site with unique pricing in MAD for Moroccan visitors. They are considering using geolocation-based redirection or dynamic currency switching with WPML while using caching plugins like WP Rocket, but are concerned about compatibility issues.
Solution: We recommend using the "Currency by Location" feature of "WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency", which works with the Geolocation feature of WooCommerce. This requires a MaxMind API key, which can be set up following the guide at https://woocommerce.com/document/maxmind-geolocation-integration/. Note that this feature only works for logged-in users.
Additionally, you can use the wcml_geolocation_get_user_country filter hook to override the default geolocated country based on the billing or shipping address instead of the IP address.

Problem: The client is planning to migrate their WordPress site from Yoast SEO to Rank Math and wants to ensure full compatibility with WPML to avoid disruptions to their multilingual content. They are using WooCommerce Multilingual for product translations and have enabled Compatibility Mode in Rank Math for WPML. The client asked several questions regarding the deactivation of WPML plugins during migration, backing up specific database tables or settings, re-synchronizing translations post-migration, potential conflicts between Rank Math and WPML, and any WPML-specific precautions to take. Solution: 1. There is no need to deactivate WPML plugins during the migration as SEO data are saved on each translated page and there should be no conflicts. 2. Once migrated to Rank Math, the SEO data should remain on the translated pages, and no adjustments to the database are necessary. 3. The client should confirm with Rank Math if the SEO metadata remains the same post-migration. If it does, no re-synchronization of translations is needed. 4. For potential conflicts between Rank Math and WPML’s multilingual SEO features, the client can check the known issues at https://wpml.org/plugin/rank-math-seo/ 5. It is recommended to back up everything before proceeding with the migration to ensure multilingual SEO data remains intact.

Problem: The client is planning to migrate their WordPress site from Yoast SEO to Rank Math and wants to ensure full compatibility with WPML to avoid disruptions to their multilingual content. They are using WooCommerce Multilingual for product translations and have enabled Compatibility Mode in Rank Math for WPML. They are concerned about potential conflicts during the migration and how to handle database settings and SEO metadata. Solution: We recommend keeping WPML plugins activated during the migration to avoid conflicts. There is no need to manually back up or preserve specific database tables or settings tied to WPML/Yoast integration, as our WPML SEO addon supports both Yoast SEO and Rank Math SEO. This addon will help you translate SEO data from both plugins seamlessly. Post-migration, it is not necessary to re-synchronize translations for product variations and SEO metadata, as WPML handles these automatically. There are no known conflicts between Rank Math and WPML's multilingual SEO features that require adjustments. However, we recommend consulting the Rank Math support team for specific migration steps from Yoast to Rank Math.
