Problem:

How to translate the content of a theme or plugin that I custom-coded.

Solution:

- Make sure your theme or plugin uses the gettext calls for the strings:

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/translating-the-theme-you-created/

- Scan the theme or plugin:

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#scanning-the-theme-and-plugins

- Then, you go to WordPress Dashboard > WPML > String Translation

- Select the Text Domain that you created for the theme at the top filter to show only the theme-related entries.

Se- lect all the strings from there.

- At the bottom of the page you will have the option to send the selected text for translation.

- After that, you can go to WPML > Translations and take that set of strings for translation and you will be redirected to the Advanced Translation Editor and there at the top you can click the Translation Automatically button to finish the translation.
