Hi,

Your screenshot shows that the template is a Draft, not published. Please publish it in all languages and check if that fixes the issue.

Best regards,
Osama

ok it's published now but the header is not translated. Also all links in the translation still go the the default language.

There is also a similar layout in the trash.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Yes this did translate it.

How did you find this header template?

Only problem now is still that the links for the button "shop" or nothing going to the default language. How to change this?

Thank you.

Hi,

1) I edited the header template via Divi-> Theme Builder to change its name to "All Blog Category Pages EN", so I can identify it when I go to all header templates.

2) Please use the search field to search for the links. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)

Best regards,
Osama

Why I get the attached message to apply all markers? I copied the text from the original and after that only translated the language between the markers? thks.

Hi,

I changed it but didn't face the markers issue. Please check if the Spanish header works correctly on the front end.

Best regards,

Yes it does. I also did this now for the Dutch translation and retyped the whole text in stead of copying it from the English language and that worked.

However I still have some links at the bottom of the page which I can't find.

Also I tried to find it with these links:
Footer: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_footer_layout

Header: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_header_layout

Body: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_body_layout

But it's not in the footerlayout.
In the body layouts I see different layouts but not the one I need I think.

How can find the correct part to translate this? thanks.

Hi,

This is a hidden link">menu that you can find in Appearance-> Menus.

After selecting the wanted menu, please switch the language using the top admin bar to edit the Dutch menu.
