This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to add a new language, Polish, to their website and needs to know if it's possible to hide this language content until all translations are completed.
Solution:
We recommend hiding the language for users and visitors by navigating to WPML > Languages > Hide languages in your WPML settings. Admins can still view the hidden languages by enabling the option

Display hidden languages

in the WPML Language Settings section of their user profiles.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and verify that you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. If further assistance is needed, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello,

Yes, you can hide languages for users and visitors at WPML > Languages > Hide languages.

The admins can enabled the option

inside the WPML Language Settings section of their user profiles.

Hi Andreas

Thanks for answer.
I have here another question.

I am not sure what to do. I found in string translations the same text like in my Blog post.

Shoul I translate it in string translations or directly in Blog Post with wpml?

Please check attachments.

Thank you

Hi,

I'm Osama from WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload.

1) Please use the "+" icon inside the post/page edit screen to translate it.

2) Could you please share your Debug information with me?
You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support)
The debug info will give me much information about how your site is configured.

Best regards,
