How to Implement Minor Edit: Do Not Update Translation as a Default in WPML

When using WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin), you might want to implement a feature where minor edits do not update the translation as a default setting. This can help keep your translations aligned with your original content while allowing for flexibility in editing.

Steps to Implement

  1. Access WPML Settings: Navigate to the WPML plugin settings in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Locate the Translation Management: Find the Translation Management or Translation options section.
  3. Adjust Default Settings: Look for the setting that states, "Update translations automatically" and ensure it is unchecked. This will prevent minor edits from triggering an update in translations.
  4. Test Your Changes: After saving your settings, make a minor edit to your original content and check if the translation remains unchanged.

By following these steps, you can ensure that minor edits in your WordPress content do not affect your translations automatically.
