This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client needed to change the value of the Tagline and Blog Title strings for their website using the Hello theme, which is compatible with WPML. They also had issues with translating Rank Math's %Sitename% placeholder, as it was not reflecting on the live site despite being translated in WPML's String Translation.
Solution: 1. To change the Tagline and Blog Title strings, go to WPML > String Translation. Check the boxes for these strings, scroll down, and switch the language to one that is not yet set up on the site. This will allow you to change the strings for English, adding a new column with a '+' for the EN flag.
2. For Rank Math SEO integration with WPML, refer to the following documentation:
. If the hosting provider limits these settings, contact them to request an increase.

How do I change the value of Tagline and Blog Title strings. My theme is Hello theme and you say that it is compatible with WPML, so I think that this is not hardcoded deep in the code (I hope so). All screenshots are atteched
Actually my deafult language was Russian and now I switched it to English.
Also my WPML does not translate Rank Math's %Sitename%. I mean I have translated them on String translate but still on live site it does not translate.
-----------
And I have just noticed now. When I was taking debug info. So do I need to increase this to higher value? And which value is good for me? I am using pretty good hosting service
(Hostinger Cloud Startup plan) and I think that my hosting service can allow me increase it. I hope this won't affect my site negatively
If you want to change that content from inside WPML > String Translation, you will need to check those boxes > then scroll down a bit and switch the language to one that doesn't exist on the site yet (any language that you don't have set up on the site yet).
Then, you will be able to change those strings for English (You will see a new column on the right with a + for the EN flag).
3. In regards to the WP Memory, I have noticed that your website’s WP Memory Limit is 40MB. The WP memory limit needs to be increased as the minimum requirement for WPML is 128Mb WP Memory Limit: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
❌ Very important: please make a backup of your site (files & database) before following any of the upcoming steps ❌
Please add this to your wp-config.php file to increase WP memory:
These settings can be limited directly by your hosting provider, so, if that’s the case, I recommend you contact and ask them to modify them directly. If you can get even higher values It would be great.
Please make sure you have updated the values successfully, You can verify them from WPML >> Support page.
I hope that you will find all that information helpful.
Now the thing that left is this: Do I understand it correctly that the issue which is depicted on the screenshot is a known issue and I just can not reach what I want until it will be fixed in next updates?
I have attached a screenshot (1.png) where you can see that I don't have specificly that %sitename% translation option on advanced translation.
3) About this link: hidden link
I have attached a screenshot (2.png) where you can see that I don't have specificly that %sitename% translation option on String translation.
I have tried all your instructions, but I still have my issue opened. Maybe I missunderstand or do something wrong, please clarify what exactly should I do. Little reminder: please remember that I only need %sitename% (screenshot 2024-02-09_16-58-51.png) to be translated for this ticket
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
- Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.
Thank you for your help Mihai. Let me create a staging site soon, and I will provide you entry details for that. Please don't close this ticket yet, I will be back with entry details soon (I remember about requesting a private box before providing entry details)
Just wanted to know how is it going? I also want to say I want to update my restore site, actually it will be a new copy of my live site, I hope entry link will be the same. Please provide me a private window to enter entry link in case it will change. Or if I should not to update my stage site temporarily since you are testing it please let me know
