My website is up-to-date in terms of WordPress 6.2 and with the plugins updated, but I happened to notice today that the header and footer in the original language (Spanish) now shows in English. The translations show correctly (English & Dutch).
I do see the correct header and footer text in Spanish in the back office but not on the front end.
I realised I could set the correct footer and header under Customize -> General -> Elementor Templates, but it only lets me correct one of the two.
If I select the correct footer (Footer - Global) then the Header (Header - Global) is not showing correctly, and vice versa. One of the two switches back to the incorrect Header/Footer (Footer/Header - ENG). So, I've corrected the footer now, but can you assist in correcting the header two?
Yes, I've created the footer and header with Elementor and these have already been translated into English and Dutch which is still shown in the backoffice.
However, there seems to be a bug in the system as I cannot select the preferred footer and header at the same time under global settings (customize). So now I've selected the original footer (spanish) but it still doesn't show the header in Spanish, only in English (which is not the original language but a translation).
Within Customize you cannot switch to "all languages" or a transition language your choice will be done under the "default" language.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

I didn't really change anything in the string translation besides re-entering the 3252 for Dutch and 3248 for English that was already filled in under 42 for the Spanish header, but now both the header AND footer are showing the correct language (even though I didn't change the footer settings under string translation). So, I don't know what you've done, but it's working!
I don't know if the following is linked to what we've been discussing, but there is now another strange thing happening where I've changed a bit of text in the original (Spanish) language.
I then had to look up the words in the Advanced Editor as it was not automatically brought forward that I had to change this. I had to type in "perro" for the words to show up for English and Dutch. So I then did change the words for English and Dutch on the backend. However, this isn't reflected on the frontend. I do see the new image (of the cat), but the texts did not update (it has to show "2022" for instance).
This was working properly before, so maybe it's because some of the changed settings you've made? I've not made any other changes besides this one.
