Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi and thank you for contacting WPML Support! I will be happy to help you with this. Please use this instead of that part from the code that you have: $str . __(' <br><br><b>IMPORTANT: If you do not receive your availability response, check your "spam" or "spam" email or check that the email you have given us is correct. </b><br><br>Read carefully the instructions to make the payment of the deposit and information on how to get to the surf camp.', "my-custom-domain"); Here is some helpful documentation for that: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext After saving it, please see if you can now find it in WPML > String Translation. If you don't, you might need to scan the theme that's generating the strings and then go back to WPML > String Translation and see if the strings show up: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/theme-localization/ Please let me know if this solved your issue or if you still need help. I will be waiting for your response. Just a note that I won't be working on the weekend so I will be able to get back to you at the beginning of next week. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi. I think the issue might be due to the fact that you are using just one underscore instead of two. I am attaching a screenshot - there we will need to have 2 underscores, one next to each other, instead of just one. Like this: __( Please let me know how that goes and if that solved the issue. Kind regards, Mihai Screenshot 2019-07-29 at 15.33.09.png
