Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the 'Contact Us' button in the header of my site hidden link using WPML. I have already translated the strings and followed the instructions in other support tickets.

Symptoms:
I can't get the 'Contact Us' button to translate.

Questions:
Why can't I get the 'Contact Us' button to translate even though I have translated the strings?
Are there any additional steps I need to follow beyond the instructions in other support tickets?
