johnH-55	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a string in footer.php that contains . The strings were found during a scan and translated with string translation. Once I add new languages, everything works as expected. I assume there might be some sort of configuration error in the database. The issue can be seen at hidden link. At home page during debug get_translations_for_domain( $domain ) return empty while other languages or cs-cz at other page show the data. Symptoms: The string translation for the homepage at cs-CZ is not working, while other pages and homepages in other languages are working. I expected to see 'Sleduj nás' (translated 'Follow us') at the footer like on hidden link, but instead, I got 'Follow us'. Questions: Why is the string translation for the homepage at cs-CZ not working? Is there a configuration error in the database affecting the string translation?

johnH-55	I found the reason, but not resolution. So, in this page (at home) I have page block which using switch_to_locale($posts_source['source']['locale']); do_action('wpml_switch_language', $posts_source['source']['language']); .... some code.... switch_to_locale($posts_source['original']['locale']); if ($posts_source['original']['language']) { do_action('wpml_switch_language', $posts_source['original']['language']); // we hitting gthis. } but after this still all looks right. get_bloginfo('language') "cs-CZ" apply_filters('wpml_current_language', null); "cs-cz" Likely we dealing with bug where switch_to_locale/wpml_switch_language back to original locale not working as expected.

Lauren WPML Supporter since 10/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	It seems that this issue is related to custom coding, which is outside the scope of WPML support. If you can reproduce the issue on a minimal settings (only WPML and a default theme) and the translated text does not display in the footer, then we can further troubleshoot. OTherewise, I can share this documentation https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_switch_language/ for guidance and if you need further assistance, we can suggest some contractors who are familiar with WPML that may be able to further assist you: https://wpml.org/contractors/
