Background of the issue:
I have a pop-up on my page in the section 'Choose Your Learning Language' built with the Elementor pop-up builder. I translated the content of the pop-up in WordPress, but the translation does not work when I change the site to German or Spanish. URL: hidden link

Symptoms:
The content of the pop-up is always displayed in English, even when the site is set to German or Spanish.

Questions:
Why is the translation not working for the pop-up when switching languages?
How can I ensure the pop-up content is displayed in the selected language?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please edit the translated pages using Elementor and check if the buttons trigger the correct language pop-ups.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. Please check if the German page works correctly. (hidden link)

I edited the German page using Elementor and selected the correct templates. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)

Best regards,
Osama

The pop-up is translated, but the buttons in the German and Spanish translations link to the wrong URLs. They should use exactly the same URLs as in the English version of the pop-up.

Hi,

You need to change them using Elementor because these URLs don't appear in the translation editor.

Best regards,
