norbertK-12	Hi, i'm working on new site hidden link and I have problems with translating Section Titles. They don't translate and I can't find them in string translation. I went through this topic: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/headers-are-not-translated/ and some more, similar and I can't find any solution to this problem. Actually same goes with contact form.

How are these heading widgets created? Is it through an Elementor widget, or are they generated by the theme? Could you pelase send us a screenshot of the editing screen where this heading is created? I think the widget might not be registered by the author for translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/

I'll check and do some quick tests. - Please use the private field to send the sensitive data - do not post if you do not see it. It would be better if you give me a test site rather than the live site. IMPORTANT: Please backup a working copy of site files and database before. If more complex testing is needed, I may need to create a temporary local copy of your website. Do you authorize me to do this? If yes, please install these plugins: Duplicator: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ File Manager: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/ All-in-one WP Migration hidden link This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Please let me know if this is ok for you.

Diego Pereira Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Thanks! I fixed the issue by adding the following code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration: section-titel-addons section_title_text section_subtitle_text After that, I did a small modification and the string was automatically translated on ATE. Could you please review the translation and publish?

norbertK-12	Hello Diego, thank you for your support. It worked - the translation is correct, great work 🙂 I still have issues with contact form (didn't translate) and 404 when I'm changing the language. Could you look into that as well? Thank you!
