Problem: The client reported that despite translations being marked as complete, the 'Login / Register' strings in an Elementor custom widget were not reflecting on the front end. Solution: We resolved the issue by modifying the WPML settings to register the strings for translation. Here are the steps we followed: 1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML tab. 2. Add the following code to register the strings for translation:
3. Edit the original header and add an empty space to prompt WPML to recognize that the translation needs an update. 4. Edit the translation of the header where the texts will now be available for translation.

Problem: You are developing a site using Elementor with WPML and want to auto-translate links in Elementor icon list items. Despite setting a glossary for the link and resending the page to auto translation, the link remains untranslated. Solution: 1. First, edit the translation of the page. In the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), use the search option at the top left to find the URL. You can search for the entire URL or just a part of it. For more details, see Translating links with Advanced Translation Editor. 2. If the above step does not resolve the issue, follow these steps: - Go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration tab and paste the following code:
- Press the Save button. - Modify the original page slightly and press the Update button. - Update the translation via WPML's Advanced Translation Editor. - Re-open the translated page to check if the links are now translated.

Problem: The client was unable to translate certain texts into Arabic, including the word 'SHOP' and phrases in the top bar of their website. Additionally, Arabic characters in the Slider Revolution were displaying backwards and separated. Solution: For the Slider Revolution issue, we recommended accessing WP Admin -> Slider Revolution and editing the 'Demo-rtl 1' slider used for Arabic. The client should remove the text layers and add them again without applying animation effects that break the words into individual letters. For the text in the top bar, which is managed by the 'Thim Elementor Kit' plugin (not WPML-compatible), we attempted standard methods to find the text through string translation but were unsuccessful. We offered to download a clone/snapshot of the website to further investigate how the plugin manages this text. For the image accordion issue, we made the fields translatable by adding custom XML configuration to the WPML settings. The client should open the page in the default language, make a minor edit to refresh the elements detected by WPML, and then proceed with the translation.

Problem: The client has translated all identified strings using the Translation Editor on an Elementor page, but only a few words are displayed as translated, with about 90% not reflecting the changes. Solution: We suggested checking if there are global templates in Elementor that might not be visible in the Translation Editor and need translating separately. Additionally, we identified that the theme used ('Tastyc') is not officially compatible with WPML. We recommended contacting the theme developers to encourage them to join our Go Global program. As a workaround, we advised the client to: 1. Edit the page in the default language. 2. Switch to the secondary language using the language switcher. 3. Edit with Elementor and manually adjust translations directly in Elementor.

Problem: You are trying to translate content using a plugin compatible with WPML, but the theme support has indicated no actions are needed on their part. You are seeking assistance for the correct configuration of the plugin. Solution: The content you referred to is within an 'About' widget created by the theme. All theme widgets (as shown in your screenshot) need to be made compatible with WPML by following this procedure. If the theme authors claim everything is in order, they might have made a mistake or they might believe that the only way to translate with WPML is manually, in which case you cannot use the translation editor.
