Problem: String Translation is not showing in the frontend

Solution: It works after the following steps.

1) Visit WPML>>String Translation

2) Enable the *Look for strings while pages are rendered* option of *Auto register strings for translation* section(on the bottom of the screen)

3) Visit the frontend pages

4) Go back to String Translation and translate newly added strings

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have installed a WPFront Notification Bar plugin and using this documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#:~:text=hard-coded%20strings-,Strings%20aren%E2%80%99t%20selected%20for%20translation,-Many%20themes%20and
added the text I needed to String translation (Translate texts in admin screens »). Then I have added a translation to my first secondary language (Bulgarian, see the screenshot), but it is not showing on the frontend.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

Please visit WPML>>String Translation after a full site backup and enable the *Look for strings while pages are rendered* option of *Auto register strings for translation* section(on the bottom of the screen). Then visit the frontend pages and check whether the issue exists or not.

This option will be disabled in a couple of hours automatically. But will help us to track the issue in similar cases. Refer to the following article for more details.
