Lauren Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'll be happy to help you with this. Can you please tell me how this content was created? If it is created in a plugin settings, it may be that these strings are stored in the admin texts. Please go to WPML -> STring Translation and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click "Translate strings in admin texts". Here, look for a section for the plugin and see if you are able to locate the strings. If so, check the box and then click Apply at the bottom. Then you should be able to translate the strings via the WPML -> STring Translation table. To ensure the quickest and most accurate support, please provide your debug information so that I can get a look at some of your configurations. We have an excellent article on how to located here: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/. NOTE: Please be sure to check the box to indicate you can provide debug info and paste your debug info in the debug field provided, and NOT in the general response field.

Lauren Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	That most likely means that the strings are not wrapped in a gettext call. You can try editing the plugin files to add the gettext calls to the strings, but keep in mind that any changes you make will be overwritten when the plugin is updated. For more information on how to wrap the strings in gettext calls, please see the following documentation: https://wpml.org/faq/language-setup/ https://wpml.org/documentation/support/translating-the-theme-you-created/
