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

Problem:
The client is attempting to translate the text 'Submit Listing' and 'Sign in' on their website header using WPML. Despite following the relevant documentation, the 'Submit Listing' button text does not change when switching the website language from English to Albanian.
Solution:
1. Verify that the Template used in the Header is set as translatable in WPML. This can be done by navigating to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation.
2. Once the Template is set as translatable, use the WPML Translation Editor to apply the translations.
3. Additionally, translate any relevant Listing Conditions through WPML > Taxonomy Translation.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Before we proceed, I just want to make clear that you should not translate your content by switching languages in the top bar and changing the content. That's not how WPML works.

The condition is considered a taxonomy by your theme. Please follow these steps:

1. Change your conditions back to Albanian, as this is your default language;
2. Go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomies Translation and set Conditions as translatable;
3. Go to WPML > Taxonomy translation and add a translation for the conditions;
4. update the home page and its translation;

Please note that your theme requires additional settings. Check in WPML > Settings, which Post Types and Taxonomies you wish to translate and mark them as such. Also, make sure to check our documentation:

https://wpml.org/documentation/

In our documentation, you will find all the necessary information to translate different parts of your website properly.

Hello,

As Lucas is on vacation this week, I would like to assist you.

I have to admit, that the ticket is confusing to me. It seems to me that here is more than one reported issue.

- Widget in Header
It looks like your Template are not set as translatable. Please verify this at WPML > Settings > Post Type translation. After that you will be able to translate the Template with the WPML Translation Editor.

- Listing Conditions
These conditions need to be translated at WPML > Taxonomy Translation.

Please confirm if this solves the issue.

Best regards
Andreas
