I am trying to: translate a page from English to Spanish

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: ñ and ´the way I translate them

Instead, I got: ñ í á ó

I enter the right characters in ATE and once I save the translation it becomes those symbols

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Thanks for your patience.

I've tested it and I can't seem to replicate the issue on our sandbox site here hidden link .

This is the test page hidden link

Could you try replicating the issue over there?

If the issue continues, I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

I have replicated it here hidden link

It is happening on the 2 sites where we use WPML and in all languages.

It seems to be a bit random, it happens for a character sometimes and, other times, for the same character, it does not happen

Thanks for your patience.

I have a report that this is fixed and could you please test it again on your production site? Let me know how it goes.

It seems to work for new translations and we will go back to fix previous ones. Thank you!
