Problem:
I'm seeking assistance with loading header menu and footer from external files and ensuring their text content is automatically translated. Additionally, CSS styling for the translation switcher on index.php is not being applied.

Solution:
For the header menu, if it's a WordPress menu, you can follow WPML documentation for translating menus: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/. If it's not a standard WordPress menu, you'll need to wrap all text inside PHP code with the gettext method and then translate them using WPML String Translation.

For the footer, if it's widget-based, follow steps for translating widgets: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/. If it's directly added to the theme, wrap text in PHP code with the gettext method, scan the theme for strings, and translate them using WPML String Translation.

To apply CSS to the translation switcher on index.php, wrap all direct text in PHP code with functions like __() and then scan the theme for strings. Translate them using WPML String Translation, and the CSS should apply automatically.
