madsP-4	Background of the issue: I'm trying to get a translation to appear on my WordPress site using WPML. The issue is occurring on a staging page with the URL hidden link. Symptoms: The translation is not displayed on the page even though there is a translation. Questions: Why is the translation not appearing on the staging page? Does the URL hidden link affect the translation display?

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. When I try to access the link, I'm taken to the login area. 1. Can you please let me know the default language page URL and in which language we should see a translation? 2. Can you please share the name of that page or the URL for the edit page in the site's backend so that I know what the page you are referring to is? 3. Please create a full website backup and then share the site credentials in the private fields I enabled for your next reply. I will be waiting for your response. Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. This might be happening because we don't have WPML String Translation installed. Do I have your approval to install this WPML Add-on? Please let me know.

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi, My colleague Mihai is unavailable today, so I’ll be handling this for now. I installed the String Translation plugin on your site, but it didn’t work immediately. To resolve this, I made another change via the "Company" page (added a space in the text) and retranslated the change, which made the translation appear successfully: hidden link. Best regards, Marcel

madsP-4	Hi Marcel Nice that it works. Thanks for that. Would you elaborate on "added a space in the text" where did you put the space? Is that something I need to do on other pages?

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi, I simply added a space at the end of the first text element. A minor change like this is enough to trigger an update in the secondary language. Best regards, Marcel
