Hello
My Geodirectory theme directory allows listings to be created by users on the page
hidden link
Default language is Spanish and translation language is English

I have translated the names of the filed. For example "Package" by going to LWP panel > Listings > Settings and changing the WPMl langaueg at the top of the screem. This is not working as when I edit English, it also changes the name in Spanish. Any of the changes refelect on the live page.
I am open a chat support earlier and the assitant told me to open a ticket because this is a technical issue

Please check

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Please try the following steps:

1. Add the filed names in the default admin language and save them
2. Go to WPML-> Theme and plugins localization, select your theme and scan it
3. Go to WPML-> String Translation
4. Scroll down and click on the "Translate texts in admin screens »" link
5. Search for the needed strings
6. Select the strings
7. Click on the "Add to String Translation" button
8. Then click on "the « Return to String Translation" link
9. Translate the strings, clear the cache, and check the front end

Kindly check our guide to know more about translating texts in the admin texts screen. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#translate-admin-and-settings-strings)

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed
