reedL	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate my homepage which is a static .twig file on my theme, Timberland. Most other pages translate but not our homepage. I am using WPML for translations. Symptoms: The homepage isn't translating, while other pages do. Questions: How can I translate a static .twig file in my theme using WPML?

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi, You can try enabling the option to scan these strings as described in this thread: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-scan-doesnt-find-string-in-twig-template-files/ This will register the twig strings using the getText() function, if they are prepared as shown here: {{ __('Example heading to translate', 'example-domain') }} Best regards, Marcel
