davidZ-34	Tell us what you are trying to do? I added the german and french translation manually via string translation for a third party plugin. The plugin is in english. The weird thing is that nothing gets updated in german on the front-end, but the second translation in french are shown. Is there a similar example that we can see? You can see it on this page: hidden link The red button should say "Suchen" instead of "Search". If you switch to french, the button label gets translated.

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, thanks for contacting us. Please make a full backup of your site (files and database) and confirm it in your next reply. If possible please provide access to the staging website, not production. Please note, that I might need to do some debugging procedures like enable/disable plugins, switch themes, change the default language of the user account, and/or access your website database to debug the issue furtherly. I will share with you any changes or steps done in this process. Please let me know if you do not agree with the above or if I do not have your permission for any. I would need to access both your site's wp-admin and FTP account, if possible. I have enabled the private username and password fields in your next reply. I suggest you create a new user, set it as an administrator and then add those credentials in the private fields mentioned. You can safely add your information into these fields. Regards, Drazen

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, I have tried to check and I can see the issue, but it is impossible to check since the website is slow and every few tries I get 503 Service Unavailable Please disable all other plugins and leave active only WPML Plugins and Elementor, switch to Hello Elementor theme. Let me know from which plugin this string is coming and leave it enabled also, all others disabled. Check if the issue with the string still happens, if yes let me know and I check further. Thanks, Drazen

davidZ-34	Hi Drazen Thanks for checking, what is the issue? I have upgraded my webserver, now it should be faster. The string is coming from the plugin LearnDash Certificate Verify and Share (LD-CVSS). I have disabled all plugins except the ones you mentioned including Learndash LMS. (Otherwise the plugin does not work), switched to Hello Elementor Theme and the issue is still happening. The string is not translated.

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, I have checked your issue with Search and I see you have other translation files in DE added, which are being loaded before the one WPML is added. I have deleted de files for this plugin (LD-CVSS-de_DE.mo) from wp-content/language/_po-edit/ and /languages/plugins/ As for other issues, please note we limit 1 issue per ticket to keep things clear, so I have opened a new ticket for your other issue and will update you there further. - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-group-name-translate/ Regards, Drazen
