Problem:
The client wanted to translate a string of text coming from his footer PHP template
Solution:
1. Finding the string
- Go to "WPML > Theme and plugins localization" and rescan your theme or child theme.
- Then go to "WPML > String translation" and search for those strings to translate them.
2. If you can't find those strings, it could be that they didn't get properly coded with "GetText":
- Open your footer.php file et edit it following this tutorial: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/translating-the-theme-you-created/
- It should look something like this:
<?php _e('Copyright text here', 'TextDomain here'); ?>
- Then repeat step #1 to translate the strings in "String translation"
