Tell us what you are trying to do? Change original language in string translations. Some of the strings have English but should be Swedish. Example Widgets.

Is there any documentation that you are following? See enclosed png.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? It has password protect.. webbshop.systemhall.com

Hello,

Please mark those strings and use the dedicated dropdown at the bottom of the strings section to change the source language of those strings.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/

Let me know if you run into any unexpected issues.

Best regards

Hello,

I'm glad you got how to change strings language,

If you cannot find a certain string under string translation, you might need to load it manually with one of the methods listed here : https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/

I highly recommend the "Auto-Register Strings" and "Translating Admin and Settings Strings" methods

I hope this answers your question,

Hi! Thanks! It seems a little complicated but we will try. We also have a question about how to link to the right page from Check out regarding privacy policy. See enclosed print screeen. The link goes to /?Page_id=3. We would like to have it linked to another page. One for Swedish (/personuppgiftspolicy/)and one for English (/en/personal-data-policy/)

Hello,

Translating that custom link should be easy, but it depends on where you have translated that text from,

If you used the translation editor, you should be able to translate the URL like this: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/

If you used string translation, simply search for the URL in the default language using the search bar at the top,

I hope this answers your questions,

Best,

Hello,

I would like to ask for temporary access to your test site’s wp-admin to investigate the issue further.

Kindly provide me with a link on where to find these strings in front-end.

It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Hi! We can not give you access to the webpage. Is it possible to connect via Teams with shared screen and you give us instructions in WP-admin?

Hello,

It is really hard to tell without having the access and see the configuration myself,

Have you tried to translate it like I suggested here through string translation? https://wpml.org/forums/topic/issue-with-original-language-wrong-on-some-of-the-string-translations/#post-15238951

Are you using the default shipment function from WooCommerce? if so, it should be visible under String translation.

Best,
