Problem: The client was trying to translate the homepage with slider blocks but encountered issues where the translation page was not 100% complete, and there were errors in the console. The translation inconsistencies included links and slider images not being translated correctly, and sometimes the translations were not saved. Solution: 1. We confirmed that external links need to be manually translated as detailed in the documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/ 2. We identified an incompatibility with the slider plugin on the English version of the page. To resolve this, we manually edited the English language page to fix the broken slider. After these adjustments, the slider functioned correctly.

Problem: The client reported that texts in the fields for the English language on an Advanced Custom Fields options page changed to Russian unexpectedly. Other languages displayed correctly.
Solution: We attempted to reproduce the issue by: 1. Opening the options page in the default English language. 2. Changing some section texts back to English and saving. 3. Switching to Russian to check if the changes were overwritten and then saving. 4. Switching back to English to confirm if the changes persisted.
Since the issue could not be reproduced, we suggested that the client monitor the site closely and isolate the issue on a staging site if it occurs again. It's important to note any special activities or workflows that might influence the language settings.

Problem: The client needed to translate PDF vouchers but encountered an issue where the product attribute was showing in the original language (LT) instead of the translated language (EN) when using the shortcode
{variationname}
provided by the voucher plugin. Solution: We recommended that the client should create a copy of the original template post and set it as English. If the product attribute still appears in the wrong language, we suggest checking the translation settings for the product attributes within WPML and ensuring that the translations are correctly configured. Additionally, it may be necessary to consult with the voucher plugin authors to ensure that their shortcode is compatible with WPML and is able to display translated attributes.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) separating sentences incorrectly, particularly when a dot follows a year mark, making it difficult to translate content as a coherent sentence. Solution: We recommend joining the segments in ATE to improve the translation process. This can be done by following the steps outlined in our documentation on joining sentences. Please note that after joining segments, they will need to be translated again. This is because ATE saves translations per segment in the Translation Memory, and joining segments helps the automatic translation to work better, especially if a sentence is split into too many segments, which can affect grammar and meaning.
