Hello,

Everything is a big mess. All widgets are messed up after changing the default language.
My account icon, located to the right of the menu, directs me to the same 'My Account' page in both languages. The widgets before changing languages were on Appearance - Widgets.
Now they are in Appearance - Customize - Widgets.

I cant translate widgets (Headers and Footers) independently.
How can i create simple translation of those?
Also how can i translate Woocommerce - Settings - Emails

The Shop page - hidden link is also broken it should be like this page - hidden link

When i try to change something with WPML it brokes the website.

please check asap

Thanks

Hey there,

Regarding the headers and footers, I need to better understand how they were created. Sometimes, depending on your theme, they are created as posts or templates, or as widgets, or just have custom settings. I couldn't precisely find that on your website.

Please share with me where I can find them on the admin panel. Please also send me screenshots of them in the admin panel. This will help me better understand how they can be translated.

Hello,

How can i translate that widget (screenshot).
When i am on homepage in default language (bulgarian) - hidden link
Everything is okay.
When i click on the Profile icon it goes to my account page hidden link
When I click in Heart icon (whishlist) it goes to whishlist page hidden link

But when i am in English version - hidden link
When i click on profile it redirects me to bulgarian profile page hidden link instead to hidden link
Its the same with Whishlist page, insted to hidden link it redirects me to bulgarian version hidden link.

The widgets were in Admin - Appearance - Widgets.
After changing the default language of the website they are now in Admin - Appearance - Costumize - Widgets.

How can i fix the links of these two icons - My account and Whishlist.

Regards

Hey there,

I'll paste what I shared previously. Since the wishlist was added as a widget, you can translate it following these steps:

"Regarding the widgets, you can translate them in WPML > String Translation. It's necessary to delete and re-add them (likely because of the default language switch). I recorded a video better showing the steps:

hidden link

The video was recorded in a copy of your website."

The my-account icon/link apparently weren't added as widgets. I created a ticket for it, and have answered you there, a few days ago:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-translate-my-account-icon-link/

Please proceed there. If possible, try to answer about each issue on their respective ticket. Since you brought many different issues, I'm trying to keep things organized, to ensure every question will be addressed.
