[Resolved] I have an issue regarding translating some strings

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client couldn't translate one specific string from the header of his theme.

Solution:
You can register missing admin texts from themes in "WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration (tab)"
In that case the correct code was the one presented here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/i-have-an-issue-regarding-translating-some-strings/#post-11617727

Relevant Documentation:

I have an issue regarding translating some strings with this theme. hidden link
To be more precise, is about one element from the header witch is a info box.
As you can se in this photo, i have the text founded in string but in the front will not translate. But only the text from that info box, the title it's translated.

And also, in this photo, is the second issue. It's about the wishlist, wich is translated but in the "my account" it's showing the text translated in original leanguage(german).

Also, one more thing, sort by in the shop, same, it's translated but will not show in the front page. Let me attach a photo

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply but I couldn't figure out why the translations made in "WPML > String Translation" weren't taken into consideration.

At the end, I manually registered that string using the Custom XML Configuration file.

In "WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration (tab)" I added the following:

<wpml-config>
  <admin-texts>
    <key name="xts_header_831666">
      <key name="structure">
        <key name="content">
          <key name="1">
            <key name="content">
              <key name="2">
                <key name="content">
                  <key name="3">
                    <key name="params">
                      <key name="description">
                        <key name="value"/>
                      </key>
                    </key>
                  </key>
                </key>
              </key>
            </key>
          </key>
        </key>
      </key>
    </key>
  </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Translations are now displayed on the frontend. Could you please check and confirm that the issue is solved.

Thanks,
Nico
