[Closed] I need to translate multiselect field

Hello there

Thanks for your contact, and welcome to the WPML support forum!

Can you please do the following procedure to try to locate those strings?

- Please go to WPML -> Theme and plugins localization
- Select all plugins in the list and click on "Scan selected plugins for strings"
- When that finishes, select your theme in the other list and click on "Scan selected themes for strings"
- Now go to WPML -> String Translation and search for one of the items you couldn't find to translate and see if it will display now

If that doesn't work, please try to enable the option "Look for strings while pages are rendered" in WPML -> String Translation. Then visit that page in which the widget is located and go back to the String Translation, refresh the page and check if you'll be able to locate the strings now. (Please don't forget to uncheck the option "Look for strings while pages are rendered" once you're done).

Another attempt that you can try is to include those strings in String Translation following this procedure:

- Go to WPML -> String Translation and click on "Translate texts in admin screens" at the bottom of the page
- Search for one of the items you can't translate
- Select that string and include it in the String Translation
- Go to WPML -> String Translation and search now for that item and see if it will display now for translation

Please let me know how you proceed with these possible solutions. Looking forward to your reply!

Kind regards,
Mateus.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

First, please do not share the website credentials directly in the message box, since the forum is public and it is not the proper way/place to enter it.

About the issue, you can change the language of strings following this method: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/. After this you should be able to translate from Croatian to English.

If the problem remains, I am enabling the private fields for you properly share the credentials. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Our Debugging Procedures

I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
