Rene	Tell us what you are trying to do? I am trying to find strings from some custom php code I added. It displays one sentence for visitors who are not logged in. One part of that sentence is also styled as a button. How can I find the string(s) of this custom code and translate it to English and German. Is this even possible or do I have to solve this in another way? What is the link to your site? Here you can see the sentence + button that I want to translate to the other two languages: hidden link

Mohamed Sayed	Hi Rene, Thanks for contacting WPML support. Unfortunately, we do not provide support for custom coding. Kindly check our support policy. (https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/) However, I will try to point you in the right direction. In order to make the strings added with custom code translatable, the following conditions have to be met: - The string must be wrapped in gettext calls. - There must be a textdomain argument. For example, if your code is: <h2>Some text</h2> It should be changed to: <h2><?php _e( 'Some text', 'my-textdomain' ); ?></h2> Then you will be able to translate it via String Translation. Please check this guide for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/enabling-text-translation-for-themes-not-compatible-with-wpml/ Kind regards, Mohamed
