I have followed the steps in the theme's guide to translate the template. Symptoms: When I translate a template from English to Japanese, it doesn't show in my Japanese site template. Questions: Why doesn't the translated template show on my Japanese site? Are there additional steps needed to display translated templates in WPML?

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. Please try the following steps: 1. Make a small change to the original template in English and complete the translation. 2. Then, make a minor edit to a page that uses this template — update it and finish the translation of the page. If you’re using Full Site Editing, it may be the known issue described here: https://wpml.org/errata/template-is-not-applied-to-translated-page/ If the issue persists, please upload screenshots to illustrate the problem you’re encountering.
