Problem: You are trying to import a large WooCommerce PO file containing over 10,000 strings using WPML, but the process times out due to the long duration exceeding 20 minutes. Solution: 1. The timeout issue is generally related to server settings rather than WPML itself. To potentially resolve this, ensure that only WPML plugins and WooCommerce are active, and use the default WordPress theme to improve performance. 2. Contact your hosting provider to discuss increasing the timeout limit. 3. Consider splitting the large PO file into smaller segments before importing to manage the load better. 4. WPML prioritizes translations from PO/MO files located in the languages/wpml directory. If translations exist in these files, WPML will use them. If you manually add translations via WPML > String Translation, those will take precedence over the default files.

Problem: The custom settings added by the Price Offers for WooCommerce Pro plugin are not being copied to the translated product data. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translations and check for the fields related to the plugin. Set those fields to "Copy". This should ensure that when translating your products, the fields are copied appropriately. For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on Translating Custom Fields.

Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where adding an item to the cart in one language and then switching to another language allows the item to be added again, resulting in doubled quantities, this is due to the nature of WooCommerce's handling of stock levels across languages. This behavior occurs because the stock level isn't reduced to zero until the purchase is completed, similar to adding a product in one browser and then adding the same product in another browser. Solution: We recommend applying the 'Sold Individually' setting for your products. This setting prevents users from adding more than one of the same item to the cart, which should resolve the issue of duplicated items when switching languages. If you're using the Advanced Translation Editor, ensure that this setting is translated correctly. It might also be possible to synchronize this setting across translations automatically or through SQL updates.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the order of images in translated posts not matching the original, or if the feature image section appears incorrect, follow these steps to resolve the issue. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Media Translation and enable all options except "Translate media library texts with posts". 2. Edit the post in the original language (English), make a small change, save, and then update the translation. 3. Switch to the Greek language and publish the translated post. If some translation images are broken, delete all images in the Greek language and re-update the post in English. For issues specifically with the photo order in galleries created by ACF and the theme Kalium, install the ACF Multilingual plugin, update the post in English, and then update the translation. This should correct the photo order in the frontend. Refer to the documentation on translating sites built with ACF.

Problem: You are trying to publish a post in both English and Greek using WPML. After translating and publishing the post in English, the Greek version remains in draft and does not publish automatically. Solution: Please ensure your WPML settings are configured correctly to automatically publish translations when the original post is published. Go to WPML > Settings > Translated documents options and set:
'When you receive completed translations: Publish the translated post when original is also published (default)'
'When you publish the original post: Publish the post translations'
Create a new post in Draft mode, translate it, and then publish the original post to see if the translation is also published.
