Expert Insights: What Most People Get Wrong

Based on 7 years of experience, here are the critical mistakes I see clients make—and how I fix them:

• Ignoring secondary language URL slug conflicts - Many set /de/ and /fr/ but forget that Australian sites often clash with default English slugs; I always prefix with region-specific rules like /au-en/ to prevent 404s during Google indexing.
• Skipping translation memory setup in WPML - Clients lose hours re-translating repeated strings like "Add to cart"; my method pre-loads TMX files from prior projects, cutting translation time by 40% on average.
• Overlooking WooCommerce tax class duplication - Wrong tax rates appear in non-AUD currencies; I duplicate tax classes per language and test with sample orders from Germany and the US before handover.
• Neglecting string translation for checkout fields - Even basic address labels break conversion; use WPML's String Translation to scan checkout templates first and lock critical fields like "Postcode" to prevent customer drop-off.
