Problem: You are trying to automatically translate all existing meta information of images on your site independently of other content. The existing documentation only covers translating meta information along with other content. Solution: Currently, it is not possible to translate image meta information independently without associating them with some content. We recommend attaching the images to a single post or creating a test page, adding all images there, and then translating that page. After translation, if desired, you can delete the test page.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still face issues, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
Problem: The client is integrating WPML Translations into an existing site, but string translation is not functioning unless the option 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' is checked. Despite efforts like deleting and recreating strings, increasing memory limits, and recreating MO files, the issue persists. The specific problem is observed in the footer where 'ÖFFNUNGSZEITEN' should change to 'HORARIO DE APERTURA' but doesn't unless the specific option is enabled. Solution: We first asked if the issue was isolated to the footer or other areas as well. Upon learning that the footer strings might be coming from widgets, we recommended translating them through the WPML interface for widgets. You can find the detailed guide on how to do this here: Translating Widgets.
