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

Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where almost all pages had the correct breadcrumb translation, but one page displayed an English text in the breadcrumb instead of the expected language.

Solution:
We found that the text in question was set manually for the default language within the theme options. To resolve this, we added the text for translation via the admin text option in WPML. This allowed the client to translate the breadcrumb text correctly. We provided documentation to help understand how to translate strings that don't appear on the String Translation page:

If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend you try adding the text for translation through the WPML admin text option and then translate it accordingly.

Thank you for your help.
I was able to re-translate something and it is almost good.

I think my next question can be probably transferred to a new ticket.

I see that almost all the pages have the right breadcrumb translation (which was done automatically, and the breadcrumb takes the page title automatically).

But for some reason this page hidden link seems to be the only page that has an English text in the breadcrumb. It has "Articles" but it should have "Wiedza".

When I search "Artcles" in string translation I see only the main title.

Can you please help?

Hello,

I checked and this is admin text you are settings from theme settings, I added it for translation and it works fine.

Wow, how is it possible that I made the exactly same search for "Articles" in string translation and I had only 1 result, and you have an additional result?

Also... how is it possible that all the other pages were translated automatically? I mean, the breadcrumb text was always automatically taken from the title and changes always when the title changes. No need to go to string translation to translate it manually, and here for this page something changed and it needs to be changed from the strings translation tool?

Hello,

it is possible because this text (blog_text) for a blog page, is set manually for your default language from your theme options.

So for any text added from the theme option/admin text, to translate you need to add it for translation via the admin text option and then translate. That is what I did by following shared docs.

Hope this help understand the issue.

Drazen
