Problem: The client created translations for a header and footer template in different languages, but when changing the language on the site, the translations do not appear and continue to display the English version. Solution: We recommend editing the template by making a small change to the content, saving it, and then updating the translation template to see if the text becomes available in the Advanced Translation Editor. If the issue persists, it may be due to the use of custom Elementor widgets that are not registered for translation. In this case, follow the steps to create custom XML configuration code to register these widgets for translation: How to Register Page Builder Widgets for Translation WPML Compatibility Test Tools Plugin
