Problem: After updating to WordPress 6.7, certain language translations, specifically Estonian and Russian, were not displaying correctly on the client's live e-commerce site. Despite being correctly configured in the String Translation module, some sections like the footer showed English instead of the intended languages. Solution: We initially suggested checking and re-saving the translations for the affected strings in WPML->String Translation. When this did not resolve the issue, we requested access to the site to investigate further. Our investigation revealed that the issue was related to a known problem introduced in WordPress 6.7, affecting string translations. We escalated this to our compatibility team for further analysis. Meanwhile, we advised the client to update to the latest version of WordPress as soon as it was available, which resolved the issue. We also recommended enabling the option 'Automatically load the theme's .mo file using
load_textdomain
' in WPML->Theme and Plugins Localization, which corrected the translation display.
