Hello,

If you enable the options to translated user roles with WPML String Translation, then you should be able to translate the strings, that are used on your user profiles at WPML > String Translation.

For example, enable the role "Editor", then all strings for users with this user roles should be translatable at WPML > String Translation.

Also, take note, that author archives will only work if you have translated posts. If not any post by this author has been translated, the archive might not be available in a second language.

I hope this helps to solve the issue. In case you need further assistance, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas
