Problem: The client reported that the language switcher had disappeared on smartphones and was unsure how it was added to the header in the first place.
Solution: We suggested checking if there was an option within the theme settings that might control the display of the language switcher on different devices. We also considered the possibility of custom code affecting its visibility. To further investigate, we requested temporary access to the client's site, with a strong recommendation to take a full backup before providing access. We recommended using the Duplicator plugin for backup purposes. http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Problem: The client was unable to translate the custom excerpt using the TRAVEL TOUR theme by Goodlayers.
Solution: We identified that the custom XML configuration code in the plugin did not register the custom excerpt for translation. The existing code in
/wp-content/plugins/tourmaster/wpml-config.xml
was missing the necessary entries. To resolve this, we provided the following XML configuration to be added to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab:
After adding this code, the client should edit the tour, make a small change to the tour content, save, and then update the translation. For further guidance, we referred to the documentation on custom fields translation options.
