Some strings can't find it

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

Problem:
The client is unable to find some strings for translation.

Solution:
We recommend checking for duplicates of the string that need translation, as sometimes only one of them is the correct one to translate. Here are two methods to try:

1. Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option in WPML > String Translation, visit the page where the string should appear, and then search for the string again in WPML > String Translation.

2. If the strings are not found in WPML > String Translation, they might be registered as admin texts. Follow this guide to find and translate admin text strings:

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Before this ticket gets assigned to my colleagues, I will try to help. The proper way to translate strings depends a lot on how they have been implemented inside the theme/plugin. IMPORTANT: Sometimes, there are even duplicates of the same string and only one of them is the correct one that needs to be translated. Also, sometimes, simply removing the string (checking the box and removing it) and then re-registering it again by scanning for it (one of the methods below) and re-translating it resolves the issue (sounds like you did this already so let's focus on finding the duplicates that are still NOT translated). 1. Method 1: Go to WPML > String Translation and at the bottom of the page you will find a checkbox called "Look for strings while pages are rendered". You can enable (check) that and then go in the front end to a page where you have that string showing up and then go back to WPML > String Translation and search for that string and see if it now shows up. 2. Method 2: If you can't find them inside the WPML > String Translation, they might be added as admin text. This should be the normal process to find and translate admin text strings: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/ Please let us know how that goes. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei
