Tell us what you are trying to do?

Refer attached. How to Translate WCFM ABOUT text using WPML. I can not found the WCFM ABOUT text anywhere in WPML, not even string translation.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

As per this https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/building-multilingual-multi-vendor-marketplace-sites-using-wcfm-plugins-and-wpml/#translating-vendor-store-page and hidden link, but it is not precise or specific enough.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello,

if I understand correctly this is store vendor information, correct? Or are you adding and creating this information from somewhere else?

If so, go to the store dashboard on the front end. Use the language switcher in your menu to choose the secondary language you want to translate your content into. Add the translation in the field then click Save.

Let me know how it goes and if this helps.

Drazen

Hi, I understand however that is very time consuming. Is there not a central way to manage this? We have over 50 stores in 6 different languages, so we need to find a central management for this. Thanks in advance, James

Hello,

I am afraid there is no other way for now, that is just how WCFM works with WPML.

If you need some other solution, maybe you can try with some custom code, for which I advise hiring WPML contractors:
