Background of the issue:
I am trying to display the Polish translation of the footer on my site hidden link. The footer is integrated via the Customizer using the shortcode '[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="footer"]'. I have already contacted the support team. I manually changed the name of the Polish footer from 'Stopka' to 'Footer', but it didn't help. Using WPML translation management, I can find it via Footer, but it is still not displayed.

Symptoms:
The Polish translation of the footer is not displayed, even though it can be found via WPML translation management.

Questions:
Is there another place where I can set the name so that the Polish footer is displayed via the shortcode (Customizer)?
Is there a solution to the problem where entering the specific shortcode for the Polish footer in the Customizer displays it correctly, but then for all translations?

Hey there,

Please make a full website backup and follow these steps:

1. Go to WPML > Translation Management and completely translate the Footer Element into all languages;

Check your website in a secondary language. In case it still does not show up, please follow these steps;

1. Go to WPML > Theme and Plugin Localization;
2. Select and Scan your theme;
3. Go to WPML > String Translation;
4. Search for "Footer" and see if there's any occurrence that can be translated;
5. If so, translate the Footer title to the title in the secondary languages;

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,

the footer is translated but it does not show with the shortcode in costumizer (because of its name?)

I did the steps and searched "Footer" but I cant find anything.

I think the problem is, that I have to adjust the name, so the costumizer can find the polish footer.

Hey there,

Thanks for sharing your results. I'm not sure it's because of the name, but I can check that.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated.

You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. 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. Let me know if this is ok with you.

IMPORTANT

- Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
