This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are working on a site using WPML to translate pages and have encountered an issue where only the title of a page is displayed for translation, while other elements like small tools and product collections are missing.
Solution:
If you are trying to translate WooCommerce pages, remember that they consist of shortcodes, and typically, only titles should be translated. For translating other content such as theme tools or WooCommerce shortcodes, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations.
2. Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option.
3. Visit the page on the front-end where the string is shown; this action will automatically register strings from that page.
4. Return to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations and disable the previously enabled options.
5. Search for the strings in WPML->String Translations and translate them.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you on this issue.

Are you trying to translate woocommerce pages, if yes, they consists of shortcodes so only titles should be translated.

For other content, you can use string translations, please follow the below steps and let me know if this helps:

- Go to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations
- Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option
- Now visit the page on front-end where the string is shown, this will automatically register strings from that page
- Now go to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations and disable the options
- Search for the strings in WPML->String Translations and translate it

Look forward to your reply.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I followed your steps, but now there is a problem. I don't know which strings need to be translated. I am a novice and not very familiar with this aspect

Sorry, I have a new issue. I found that I added another language, and all pages can be displayed except for Japanese. I tried to uninstall and re add, but still couldn't find the page. Should I uninstall the database content as well? If so, what should I do
