Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	WPML->Theme and Plugins Localization -> Select the plugin Mailchimp 4 WordPress and scan it for strings. WPML found 338 new strings, however the placeholder was not part of them. Please try this workaround: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-translate-the-mailchimp-form/#post-14107851 NOTE: Always have a recent and working backup before making any changes recommended by our team or a 3rd party Regarding the footer items it looks like the issue might be due to this string: URL agent_city tax slug which was agent_city and it was translated to 'ville' which was the same string used for the 'city' translations.. So we had 2 taxonomies using this string and the agent one was prioritized by WP. I have reverted all of them to 'city' and 'agent_city' as a test, however, I am doing some further testing and will update once I have feedback. (The caching is slowing down the progress a bit but not a big problem )

arnaudh-8	Hi Bobby, You said you have reverted all the "ville" strings to "city" and 'agent_city' as a test to solve the issue with the footer on french version. You said you were doing some further testing and will update me once you have feedback. However, since your modifications, I noticed the footer of the french version of my website seems to work now. So thank you for your help on that! I am also having an issue with that page hidden link on the french version. You can access it from the french version of my website, then click on "À propos" in the main menu. The page in french that was created by WPML is not the same than the english version: visuals were affected and translations are missing and not showing in string translations. Please follow this link to my screencast video explaining the issue with that page: hidden link I am looking forward to hear from you on that one as this is the most important page of my website! Thank you for your assistance!
