In the string translation, I translated some text of the "WP-PageNavi" plugin from English to French. However, the text is not translated and I still see the English version of the text on the French page (attached screenshots).

I used the same steps as every time, to translate the text. just to LYK, I followed the below steps:

1. Went to "theme and plugin localization" and "selected the plugin for string translation"
2. Then translated the text in "string translation"

Hi,

It worked

Why is the translation thing different this time? I used to do it in another way as I attached in screenshots.

Glad to hear it worked.

We can translate the text that is coming from theme/plugin files directly from WPML >> String translation page. To translate the admin text there are two possible options to make them available for translation:

1. They could be enabled from WPML >> String Translation > Translate texts in admin screens » page.

2. Or they could be enabled by using our XML method as follows:

<wpml-config>
  <admin-texts>
    <key name="pagenavi_options">
             <key name="last_text"/>
     </key>
  </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Maybe plugin author uses XML method before that’s why you don’t need to enable yourself.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
Thank you
