The client is experiencing an issue where the translation of custom text in a LearnDash course does not persist across different lessons and languages. Initially, the translation works for the first lesson in German, but when switching to Spanish, the text remains in German.
Solution:
We recommended that the client first ensure they are using the latest version of WPML. They should upgrade to WPML 4.7.3, ensuring they back up their site fully before doing so. They can check for updates in the Plugins>>Add New>>Commercial tab. If the issue persists after updating, we advise using WPML hooks to properly register and translate the string. The relevant documentation can be found here:

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating certain strings on their website using WPML. Specifically, the button label 'Find Events', the placeholder 'Search for events', and dropdown options 'List, Month, Day' are not translating correctly. Additionally, custom text indicating the next lesson access date is not translating on the Spanish page, though it is available and translated in the backend. Solution: We recommend updating your WPML plugins to the latest version to ensure all translations are applied correctly. You can download the latest versions of WPML from here.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with string translations not working correctly on their WooCommerce site, specifically with page headings/texts that have been added in the WPML String translations settings.
Solution: We identified that the strings in question are managed by a YITH option page, categorized as "Texts in admin screens". Here are the steps we took to resolve the issue: 1. Navigate to WPML > String Translation and click on Translate texts in admin screens at the bottom left of the page. 2. Search for the strings, select them, and click on Add to String Translation. 3. Return to WPML > String Translation to translate the strings into Spanish. The specific strings added were:
[yith_wcmap_endpoint_edit-account]label
(your endpoint label)
[yith_wcmap_endpoint_edit-account]content
(your endpoint content - the h2 title). For further details on registering more fields from this plugin, please refer to the Translating Strings From Admin and Settings section of our documentation.
