Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve these issues. Just to make sure, these strings are not registered for translation in WPML>>String Translation list, am I right? Most probably you can find these strings for translation from *Translate texts in admin screens" page. Please go to WPML>>String Translation and click on the blue link at the bottom of the page: "Translate texts in admin screens »" to visit the page. From this page, we can choose the plugins/theme option strings for translation. Please check the following documentation for more details. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-theme-options/ https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#admin_texts -- Thanks!

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. I have tried to add the I'm looking for string for the translation. But somehow it is not working. So please allow me to install our Multilingual Tools plugin to generate the language configuration file. Please check the following documentation for more details. https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-compatibility-test-tools-plugin/ https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/#admin-texts I can't find the View All string exactly in the frontend. So in which page it is appearing? I have a request. Increase WP Memory Limit to 256(the minimum required memory limit for WPML is 128). Please check the following links for more details https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP -- Thanks!

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. I have updated the WPML language configuration(in WPML>>Settings>>Custom XML configuration) and theme option strings are registered for translation. Please translate it from WPML>>String Translation and make sure you are getting the expected result or not. The View All string is added to the homepage as custom shortcode attribute. So I have added the language configuration for it. Please update the Homepage after a minor edit to refresh the translation settings and check the View All string is showing for translation in WPML Translation Editor. Please check the following documentation and attached images for more details. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/#page-builder-content -- Thanks!
