mixed languages if not checked[look for strings while pages are rendered] .

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

Problem:
On the front pages when I switch to the secondary language, some strings remain untranslated.

Solution:
The strings were coming from the WCFM plugin and the .po file from the plugin didn't include all the strings that need to be translated. The client fixed the issue with the following steps:
1. Scanning the plugin for strings in WPML > Theme and plugins localization
2. Translating the strings in WPML > String Translation
3. Copying the .mo files to the default site languages path "/languages/plugins"

Mohamed Sayed	Hi, I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) so I can investigate this issue further. – preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible – Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I have access to it. ❌ Please backup your database and website before providing us with access details ❌ ✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical. Regards, Mohamed
