WPML 5.0 Beta – A Redesigned Experience and Smarter Automatic Translation
WPML 5.0 is the biggest update we’ve shipped in years.
We’ve just released WPML String Translation 3.2.16 to address issues with loading translations from themes and plugins caused by changes in WordPress 6.7.
Update: WPML String Translation 3.2.17 is Now Available
In the meantime, we have released WPML String Translation 3.2.17 which fixes missing translations for sites that use a custom locale, for example de_DE_formal.
Key Points to Note
WPML does not cause these issues.
These issues occur only on some sites and usually affect certain languages randomly.
Issues and Symptoms
Texts (strings) from some themes and plugins may appear in English instead of the translated language when using your site in languages other than English.
This happens because WordPress changed how it loads .mo files and this mechanism doesn’t load anymore for some third-party themes and plugins.
How to Fix These Issues
If your site is experiencing such issues, update it to WPML String Translation 3.2.17:
- Go to Plugins → Add New and click the Commercial tab.
- Click to check for updates.
- Select String Translation and click to update it.
