Problem:
You are trying to translate a manually added button in the Divi Global Header using WPML, but the translation does not take effect. The button text 'Book Demo' remains the same in both English and German headers, despite having a string translation available.

Solution:
Since the global header was created in English (secondary language), it was not possible to translate automatically. Because WPML, so far, only supports auto-translation from Primary language to the Secondary language. And English was the secondary language in the site, so can't be translated automatically from English to German.

1. Turn off the automatic translation temporarily.
2. Add yourself as a translator in WPML under 'Translation Management' -> 'Translators'.
3. In WPML -> Translation Management, search for the content in 'EN'.
4. Select the 'Global Header Template' and add it to the translation basket (choose 'Translate myself').
5. From Translations, click the 'Translate' button and in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), manually translate 'Book Demo' to 'Demo buchen'.
6. Complete the translation and check the changes on your site.
7. Turn on the automatic translation after completing these steps.
