Hi Thomas,
Please go into WPML > String Translation and use the search field to look for the strings then add the translation.
kindly check here for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/#translating-widgets-using-string-translation
Let me know please if that helps.
Kind regards,

Hi,
the default language of the website is German. Why

Why isn't the footer translated automatically?

Hi,
When the original strings are added in a language other than English, you might see incorrect source language on String Translation.
You can fix this easily by changing the source language of the strings. Please follow this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/
Regarding the other question about translating the footer automatically, it's expected that the footer strings won't be translated automatically if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode.
This mode translates the following types of content:
- Posts
But it doesn’t pick up strings, so the footer widgets won't be translated automatically.
If you use the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode, you can send them for automatic translation as described here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translate-strings-with-wpml/#translate-everything-automatically
In case you're using "Translate What You Choose" mode, you can follow the steps mentioned here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translate-strings-with-wpml/#translating-strings-automatically-by-yourself
Kind regards.
