Why are my edited translations not displayed on my website?
In this article, you'll learn how to troubleshoot when you edit a translation, but it is not displayed on your live website.
1. Refreshing your website's page
The first thing to do is to clear your website's and browser's cache using a hard-refresh*. Then reopen your website and check whether your modifications are displayed.
*Hard-Refresh:
- Mac: cmd shift R
- PC: ctrl F5
If it's still not working, you may have edited the wrong translation. Steps 2 and 3 will show you how to edit the correct translation.
2. Using the Visual Editor
Go to your Weglot Dashboard, open the Visual Editor tab, and edit the translations that are not correctly updated or displayed.
Then, go to your website, switch the language, and check that your edited translations are properly displayed. Don't hesitate to hard-refresh!
3. Using the Translations List
Go to your Weglot Dashboard, click on the Translation List, and follow the three steps below:
There can be two very similar translations linked to the content you are searching for. It may happen when a translation is overriding the current right one (See also: What happens if I change the original content of my website?)
a. Try to search in your Translation List for the original string related to the translation that is not correctly updated.
b. Edit the overriding translation and remove other translations that don't seem to be taken into account (See: How to definitely remove a translation?).
c. For all the translations that are not updated, you need to search the related original strings in your translations list and repeat the two steps described above (See: Search Filters - How to easily find a translation?).
Throughout those steps, don't hesitate to hard-refresh your website's page and to check back in an incognito window!
