Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a red button next to my main nav that says 'Recommended Camping Gear' and I can't figure out where to translate it in WPML, I tried string searches but it's not coming up

Hi there,

Are you adding this nav button as a custom link button in Appearance->Menus ?

If yes, go to Appearance-Menus_>edit your menu and then edit the menu translation, you should be able to manually add the custom button or edit it just like you would with your default language menu.

Menu Documentation:

Let me know your results, please.

Thank you for the screenshot!

This type of content would be most likely saved in the wp_options table, to translate please review the following documentation and let me know your results
