Javier	Hello, If you visit the English version of this page: hidden link When scrolling downwards, the standard text "this content is also available in:" appears in French instead of English: hidden link Thanks. Best Regards, Javier Petrement

Javier	Hello, thanks for your suggestions, I followed instructions, WPML >> Languages > Links to translation of posts Found the text, all seemed ok but could not find it in string translation so I saved it here once with a letter missing and then saved it again with the letter included So then I was able to find it in the string translation and found that the satus of translation on the string translation had an exclamation point rather than a pencil.. I corrected that and now the status of translations has a pencil. However, when visiting the product page, I can no longer see that text (this content is also available) in any language? I went back to languages and noticed that one of these two boxes was unchecked: hidden link I checked it and now it seems to be working fine! Thanks!
