I am facing the following issues.Check attachment for your reference.
The menu navigation sidebar is not translating, and there is no option to add translated content.
On every single service page, both the Professional Service sidebar and the Timing sidebar are not translating.
At the bottom of each page, the appointment form appears in English on some pages and in Arabic on others, causing inconsistency.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like the content is inside a "widget area" as shown in the attached screenshot. I don't see a way to translate that using the Advanced Translation editor. I kindly ask for a snapshot of the site. Alternatively, with your permission, I can create one myself. For this purpose, I typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you're already familiar with Duplicator (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded.

To guide you further, please adhere to these instructions:

1. View the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link

2. Consult WPML's instructions on providing supporters with a copy of your site: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/

3. If the archive file exceeds 400MB, please use Duplicator's file filters to exclude cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.

Once you have the archive file ready, kindly share the link with us. You can utilize platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar for file sharing, as the snapshot file might be large.

Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the file link there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.
