Background of the issue:
I want to translate the SIGN UP BUTTON on the top right in the header of my Buddyboss theme. I also want to change the URL redirection from hidden link to hidden link for the French side. I scanned the theme and related plugins but couldn't find it in the string translations. Buddyboss support suggested reaching out to WPML.

Symptoms:
Unable to find the SIGN UP BUTTON in the string translations for the Buddyboss theme.

Questions:
How can I translate the SIGN UP BUTTON in the Buddyboss theme using WPML?
How can I change the URL redirection for the SIGN UP BUTTON to the French version?

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I checked the French version of your site and noticed that the button name is correctly translated, but the link in the button still points to the default language. To translate the link, please follow these steps:

1. Please go to WPML > String Translation.
2. Enter the button link in the search box and click on the search button.
3. If the link appears in the results, click on the "+" icon and add the translated link for the French language.
4. If the link doesn’t appear correctly in French, scroll down to the bottom of the String Translation page and click on Translate texts in admin screens.
5. Enter the link in the search box.
6. If the link appears there, select it and add it to String Translation.
7. Now, return to WPML > String Translation and translate the link.

I hope the steps above will help. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit

Hi again!

Thank you so much, it seems that the URL was found in the *Translate texts in admin screens.* section.

I've added it to *string translation* and now it works perfectly!
