brianH-21	Hello, I have an issue on a website, which is part of a bigger multisite project in WordPress. I have hardcoded strings which I translate with the String Translation plugin, but it doesn't echo the correct language, still shows me the default language. If I enable * Look for strings while pages are rendered*, it shows me the translated strings, but only for 2h and I dont like this approach. So far I tried: 1. Show custom MO Files Pre-generation dialog box 2. Increase memory Limit 512MB 3. Plugin is up to date 4. I did check file permissions in language folder they are 755 I did a workaround as a test and it works if I do it with if statment and ICL language.

Usually, the approach would be to register the French string and then translate this string into German with WPML > String Translation. Do not use any conditional statement, only echo the French string and register it for translation. Then translate it with String Translation. Could you please give this a try? Bets regards Andreas

brianH-21	As I mentioned in my ticket I don't want to do that. (I just did that as a temporary fix) I do register the strings in WPML, and I do translate them. But they dont show on frontend on French language as translated (German is my main), unless I enable * Look for strings while pages are rendered*, then strings are shown as translated.

brianH-21	Unfortunately for now I cant give you access to the site, because its a live site and it's for a client, Ill request this and send it privately. Meanwhile while I get access, can you point out for some things that I can take a look for ? It is a custom theme BTW.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	I suggest you register only the French string including a text domain and translate it with String Translation. If this does not solve the issue, I suggest that you install the custom theme on the following test site and I will take a closer look into the issue: One-Click-Login: hidden link This test site does not provide server access, but you can use the File Manager Plugin. Please leave me a quick comment on this ticket once the theme is installed.
