anniT	Tell us what you are trying to do? I am translating from Finnish to English. I have translated the words but they don´t appear on front end. The words are realted with the articles. Is there any documentation that you are following? I have checked my previous ticket, since had a bit same problem but it don´t fix with that. Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? This is the main page: hidden link and this the second hidden link

Andreas	Hello there Thank you for contacting us. I am happy to help you. As far as I can see the page is translated correctly hidden link hidden link But on this page : hidden link hidden link The Title and the excerpt are wrong. That page is an archive page that probably is coming from your theme. As I can see you are using Elementor so probably you created a template for that page. May I ask you to check our guide how you can translate templates with Elementor ? https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/#translate-elementor-templates I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂 Regards, Andreas

anniT	Hi Andreas, thank you, that was a great instruction. I managed to do it. Almost. Then I lost my title of the article page. I realised that it was a "heading" in my tempalte and I changed it as a title widget. But now I can not see it anymore on the both pages. Any ideas, how I can translate the title, since it didn´t appear when I followed the previous instrucions.

Andreas	Thank you very much. Can you please share with me what do you mean Widget Title ? Because this specific module might not be compatible with WPML and this is the reason you are having this. Please share with me all the details of the template in the backend. Regards, Andreas

anniT	Yes, sure. I added two screenshot. Witkawood-Elementor-edit is the how I have generated the title in Elementor. The Witkawood-front shows how I can see it on the front. Actually, can´t see it. This third on is from WP and the original archive page. Actually, I don´t understand, why it brings the title called "archive" since the original page is in Finnish and the name is "Artikkelit".

Andreas	Thank you for the images. I ahve checked : hidden link and hidden link I cannot see any kind of Title there. So from my point of view is logical that you cannot see anything as a translation because also in the default language, there is nothing. May I ask you to check again? If you fix the original language and the translation is not, we might need to check it. But in general the Title widget you showed me is ok( in terms of widget type) . Regards, Andreas

anniT	I changed the element in Elementor to be "normal title" and the followed the previous steps to translate the template. Now it worked out! My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
