[Resolved] String translation from search results page

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

Problem:
The client wants to translate the text from the search and 404 pages.

Solution:
1. Please go to WPML >> Theme and plugins localization page, select the “Monstroid2” theme, and press the “Scan selected themes for strings” button.

2. Please go to WPML >> String Translation page and search for your required text and add the translation.

3. If still an issue persists, please try the below procedures:

3.1. Go to the WPML >> String Translation page and in the Auto register strings for translation section, enable the ‘Look for strings while pages are rendered’ option.

3.2. Re-visit the page on the front end where the string appears.

3.3. Re-visit the WPML >> String Translation page and search for that string.

3.4. Translate the string.

3.5. After translating the string, uncheck the auto-registration option.

I like to translate the search result pages. The original is in English.
I need it in German and French translation.

4. If still an issue persists, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.

Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

Thank you
