The footer of your site is designed using the theme Widgets(Appearnce>>Widgets). We can translate the footer Widget strings via WPML>>String Translation. Please visit WPML>>String Translation, search for the strings, and translate them. Then check the translated pages and make sure you are getting the expected results or not. Also, please translate the footer menus from WPML>>WP Menus Sync section for the expected results in the secondary language. Please refer to the attached images and the following documentation for more details. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/ https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#strings-arent-selected-for-translation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#option-3-automatic-menus-sync-by-wpml https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#translate-custom-links -- Thanks!

georgiI-5	Thank you but we need all the text for translations to be collected in one file and to export it for translation. And the footer and menu links are not exported properly in the file.

But we can send the strings separately for translation like posts/pages. Please refer to the following documentation for more details. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#translating-strings hidden link https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#translating-strings -- Thanks!
