Problem:
You are trying to translate non-page/post elements like headers and footers in a custom-coded theme. You've attempted using widgets and patterns, but found them untranslatable without coding.
Solution:
Since you're using a custom theme, translating elements such as widgets, headers, and footers requires specific integration work. WPML relies on language information being properly registered in the code to make these elements translatable. We recommend reviewing our documentation to learn how to register your custom elements and patterns correctly:

• Achieving WPML Compatibility for Your Themes and Plugins
• WPML Hooks Reference
• WPML Coding API

If this solution is outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
