translation problems

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

Problem:
The client is using the WPResidence theme, which is translated into Portuguese, and now they want to translate it back into English. They are encountering issues where English translated properties are showing up in the Portuguese list and custom PHP values are not being transmitted correctly. They are unable to find the strings for 'area' and 'quartos' in WPML, and there are issues with custom links, search buttons, and taxonomy terms appearing in the wrong language.

Solution:
1. To change the string language, select the string and change the language of the string using the option in WPML's String Translation interface.
2. To translate theme options, search for the strings in the WPML String Translation page and add them to the string translations. Once added, they can be translated into another language.
3. Update and re-translate the page to English in WPML, ensuring that the values are copied over correctly.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket.
