Problem:
The client reported that a translated product text on their WPML site was briefly visible upon page load but then disappeared. The issue was suspected to be related to copied text containing hidden or special characters. Additionally, the client was informed for the first time that their site did not meet WPML's minimum requirements due to the REST API not being enabled.
Solution:
We advised the client to manually type in the text instead of copying and pasting to avoid hidden formatting issues that might not be handled well by WPML. This approach resolved the display issue. For the REST API, we clarified that enabling it is a requirement for WPML, as outlined in our minimum requirements and further explained in our REST API dependencies guide. Enabling the REST API enhances compatibility and functionality, particularly for multilingual and multicurrency features.
