Problem: The client is using contact forms with date calendars on their website, and these calendars only appear in Greek, even when the site is set to English. Solution: We have identified that the issue arises because the HTML input field with type="date" is managed directly by the browser. Therefore, the language displayed in the date calendars corresponds to the browser's language settings, not the website's language settings.

Problem: The user is translating content on the website, and despite translating everything into Greek, the 'previous' and 'next' words in blog posts remain untranslated. Solution: We recommend performing a site backup first. Then, navigate to WPML>>String Translation and enable the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option in the 'Auto register strings for translation' section at the bottom of the screen. After enabling this, visit the frontend pages to see if the issue persists. This setting will automatically disable after a few hours but is useful for identifying and resolving similar issues. For more details, visit our guide on finding and translating strings.
