[Resolved] why I can not translate the mailaddress in footer?
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The translated text widget doesn't display the translation at frontend. Solution:
We recommend adding the following XML configuration to your WPML settings:
You can add this in the WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section. After adding this XML, your email address in the footer should be translatable.
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. I’ve noticed that the footer is built using Widgets and you should be able to translate the widget content by following the below steps:
1. Go to WPML >> String Translation page.
2. Scroll down and click on the Translate texts in admin screens » link at the bottom of the page.
3. Search for the your required string.
4. Select the string.
5. Click on the Add to String Translation button.
6. Then click on "« Return to String Translation" link.
7. Add the translation from WPML >> String Translation page.
Hi Noman,
I did everything as you told me and as in the description above. But I translated the string but it does not do anything at the front end. See attachments...
Thanks for trying the above steps. I’ve noticed that the current WP Memory Limit on your site is 40MB. The WP memory limit needs to be increased, it's different from PHP memory. PHP memory is fine but WordPress uses 40MB as default in your site. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128MB: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
Please add this to the top of wp-config.php to increase WP memory:
If the issue persists, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.
Your next answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.
=== Please backup your database and website ===
✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is essential.
1. I visited the contact page and it seems the email address in footer shows the correct translation as you can see in the attached screenshots. Could you please try to clear your browser cache and see if this resolves your issue, or please let me know if I missed something.
Thanks so much. You were right. I had to clear the cache.
I succeeded in translating the contact form but not in translating the button of contact form. I would like to translate button "verzenden" into "send".
And last thing:on contact page I can not find the string "Strategisch advies gericht op toekomstscenario's" See attachment
That's it. Then all my problems are solved 🙂
