Problem: You are trying to translate products using WPML, but instead of the pencil symbol for editing translations, you see a wheel symbol that persists for hours, indicating that the translation process is not completing. Solution: 1. Check for errors by navigating to WPML > Support > Advanced Translation Editor > Error Log. If there are any errors, copy them and share via a site like pastebin.com, then provide the link to us. 2. Consider if the issue occurs only with one specific language, which might help isolate the problem. 3. Assess if the slowdown could be due to a high number of plugins or custom blocks on your pages. 4. Note that very new PHP versions might not be fully supported by WPML or WordPress yet. Testing changes in a local or staging environment is recommended to avoid impacting your live site.
If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
