normanR-8	Background of the issue: I am trying to make my website bilingual (German/English) using WPML on a staging site with YooTheme. The site is hidden link, and I have completed the translations. I have integrated the widget language switcher in the header and footer. The translation should be displayed on a second domain: hidden link. The menu is translated and links correctly. Symptoms: On the .com domain, the English translation is not displayed within the content, only the German original. The 'back to Home' link leads to a Not-Found page. I cannot find a way to translate the footer and header, not even within the strings. Questions: Why is the English translation not displayed on the .com domain? How can I fix the 'back to Home' link leading to a Not-Found page? How can I translate the footer and header using WPML?

You can read about it in the following link. https://wpml.org/theme/yootheme/ This theme needs to be translated manually, as we explain here. https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ Although other problems are mentioned in the above link and the links to YOOtheme. hidden link hidden link Regards, Itamar.
