Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Are you certain that you have translated the correct strings? How did you add these strings to your website? What exactly are these strings?

Try to search for these strings in the following way and see if you translated the correct string.

- Go to WPML >> String Translation
- Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option
- Open the desired page where untranslated strings are displayed
- Return to WPML >> String Translation and check if the string has been registered
- Make a translation
