Lucas Vidal de Andrade WPML Supporter since 11/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello there I double-checked the copy of your website, but couldn't get the Arabic menu to work automatically, as it should. Upon deeper investigation, I noticed that it uses the Max Mega Menu plugin, which is not 100% WPML compatible. To provide you with some context: to make a plugin multilingual-ready, developers need to follow WordPress internationalization (i18n) best practices. This includes wrapping all user-facing text in translation functions like __() or _e(), using language files (.pot/.po/.mo), and ensuring that dynamic content (e.g., menu labels, options, custom fields) is stored in a way that WPML or other multilingual plugins can detect and translate it. Without this, WPML cannot properly register and display translations, which leads to issues like menus not appearing correctly in other languages. I found this Max Mega Menu guide, with a workaround, on how to make their menu translatable: hidden link If you have any issues, please report this to the author, and let them know we are willing to work with them, to make their plugin WPML compatible. We've reached out a couple of times in the past to the Max Mega Menu's team, and they weren't responsive. We didn't receive feedback from them, despite our efforts.
