[Resolved] Translating older and next entries in news
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: If you're working on a site and trying to translate the 'older' and 'next' entries in the news section using WPML, but can't find the strings to translate. Solution: We recommend scanning the Divi theme from the WPML > Theme and plugins localization page. After scanning, search for the required strings on the WPML > String Translation page. You should be able to find and translate the strings for 'older' and 'next' entries from there. For additional issues, such as with WPForms, ensure you have followed the step-by-step instructions from this documentation: Creating Multilingual Forms Using WPForms and WPML. If the issue persists, we recommend checking related known issues (https://wpml.org/known-issues/), verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant, please feel free to open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.

Sure, To take a closer look at this issue, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.

✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is essential.
✙ Please provide me the News page link/screenshot where I can see untranslated strings.
- Thanks for providing the login details. I scanned the Divi theme from WPML >> Theme and plugins localization page and searched for the required strings in WPML >> String Translation page. I was able to find them.
Could you please try translating these two strings from there and see if this resolves the issue?
