mihaiT-6	Also, I have scanned vehica theme and now I have multiple unwanted strings in ATE. I have removed them from string translation, but are still visible in ATE. How to remove them?

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to assist you in resolving the issue. Could you please list a few of the strings that you would like to remove from the ATE translation? It would be very helpful if you could also share a couple of screenshots for better understanding. -- Thanks! Bigul

mihaiT-6	Hello, I have send you the related screenshots - most of the strings are duplicated or even you can see them three or four times. I want to have only the content itself, once - without {{text}}, links, phone numbers etc. All above have appeared after I have scanned vehica in themes and plugins localization. I have deleted all from string translation, but are still visible in ATE (I wanted a fresh start as I was not sure if this process is ok).

mihaiT-6	Even if we don't manage to clean the elements that are the same in both ro and en/hu, i want to show them only once in ATE, not multiple times

mihaiT-6	For example, I have created a new page hidden link, translated from hidden link, to check if this new fields are working. They do, but the css is not applying, why? New threads created by Bigul and linked to this one are listed below: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/the-css-is-not-applying-to-the-translations/

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the details. As per the screenshot, you are translating the Homepage (Acasă), and it is not fully translated into the secondary language. This can cause translation sync issues, especially if you update the original language page while the translation is still in progress. In such cases, the removed or changed content may reappear in the translation editor. So, please ensure the translation is complete (indicated by a pencil icon) before making any updates to the original page. Refer to the attached image for more information. -- Thanks! Bigul

mihaiT-6	This is not answering my question about all this unwanted strings in ATE - I have string X4 within the editor. I did not complete the translations as I don't want to spend the credits on all extra strings. Can we remove them before translation?
