‘This String is Not Ready for Translation Yet’ Error”

    Hi,
    I’m encountering an issue with the visual translation editor. Whenever I select a string, I receive the message: “This string is not ready for translation yet. Try again in a moment…” and am unable to proceed with translating the text.

    Here are the troubleshooting steps I’ve already tried:

    1. Disabled All Plugins except TranslatePress to rule out any plugin conflicts.
    2. Switched to the Default WordPress Theme (Twenty Twenty-Four) to check if the theme was causing the issue.
    3. Tried Incognito Mode and a Different Browser to rule out any browser caching or settings interference.
    4. Purged All Caches from both my caching plugin and my browser.

    Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I’d appreciate any guidance on additional steps or configurations that might resolve this.

    Thank you in advance for your support.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Thank you for letting us know.

    Could you please check also the Google Console while running the Translation Editor? What error is rendered there?
    You should also ask your host if there are some server-related restrictions.

    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    All I’ve found in the console about Translatepress is this message: Notice: TranslatePress trp-ajax request uses fall back to admin ajax.

    Hi,
    I’ve tried it on another website hosted in the same server, it worked fine.
    in the settings menu it is showing me this error: ” TranslatePress encountered SQL errors. Check out the errors.”
    Here are the errors:

    Why are these errors occuring

    If TranslatePress detects something wrong when executing queries on your database, it may disable the Automatic Translation feature in order to avoid any extra charging by Google/DeepL. Automatic Translation needs to be manually turned on, after you solve the issues.

    The SQL errors detected can occur for various reasons including missing tables, missing permissions for the SQL user to create tables or perform other operations, problems after site migration or changes to SQL server configuration.What you can do in this situationPlan A.

    Go to Settings -> TranslatePress -> General tab and Save Settings. This will regenerate the tables using your current SQL settings. Check if no more errors occur while browsing your website in a translated language. Look at the timestamps of the errors to make sure you are not seeing the old errors. Only the most recent 5 errors are displayed.Plan B.

    If your problem isn’t solved, try the following steps:

    1. Create a backup of your database
    2. Create a copy of each translation table where you encounter errors. You can copy the table within the same database (trp_dictionary_en_us_es_es_COPY for example) — perform this step only if you want to keep the current translations
    3. Remove the trouble tables by executing the DROP function on them
    4. Go to Settings -> TranslatePress -> General tab and Save Settings. This will regenerate the tables using your current SQL server.
    5. Copy the relevant content from the duplicated tables (trp_dictionary_en_us_es_es_COPY for example) in the newly generated table (trp_dictionary_en_us_es_es) — perform this step only if you want to keep the current translations
    6. Test it to see if everything is working. If something went wrong, you can restore the backup that you’ve made at the first step. Check if no more errors occur while browsing your website in a translated language. Look at the timestamps of the errors to make sure you are not seeing the old errors. Only the most recent 5 errors are displayed.

    Plan C.

    If your problem still isn’t solved, try asking your hosting about your errors. The most common issue is missing permissions for the SQL user, such as the Create Tables permission.Logged errors
