Problem: The client is trying to manage translations for pages on their website and finds the block-based interface of the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) complicated, especially when dealing with bolded content. They are wondering if they can use the simpler interface similar to the one used for translating categories.
Solution: We explained that the block-based interface is part of the ATE, which offers features like translation memory and glossary to help manage translations efficiently. For content with formatting, ATE detects this and allows the application of formats in translations easily. If the client prefers a simpler interface, they can use the Classic Translation Editor (CTE), which is more straightforward but lacks features like automatic translation and glossary support. We also advised against switching between ATE and CTE for the same content as it may lead to loss of translations. For pages not yet translated, the client can use ATE and opt for automatic translation on demand by adjusting settings in WPML -> Settings -> Translation mode to 'Translate what you chose' and then selecting content for translation in WPML -> Translation Management.
