Problem:
The client needed to translate the submit button on their French version of the website but was seeing 'Submit' instead of 'Soumettre'. The issue persisted even after attempting initial solutions.
Solution:
We recommended the client to try the following steps:
1. Go to the site's backend, switch to French from the top black bar, navigate to Pages, find the relevant page, hover over it, and select 'Edit with Elementor'. Then, edit the form to change the button label and save the page.
2. If the button still doesn't translate, use WPML's String Translation to locate and translate the string. This might involve enabling the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option under WPML > String Translation, visiting the page where the string is displayed, and then searching for the string again in WPML.
3. Alternatively, check if the strings are included as admin text strings, which can be translated following the process described here.

Problem:
The client was unable to validate a newly purchased domain for the French version of their website during the WPML setup. Additionally, they encountered issues with missing translations and incorrect content display on specific pages of the French site.
Solution:
We recommended switching to 'Different Languages in Directories' and finalizing the configuration setup. After this, the client should switch to 'different domains per languages', add their URL, uncheck the 'validate on save' option, and save the settings. For the content issues, we accessed the site and manually updated the affected pages by switching to the secondary language in the WP editor and clicking update. We also synchronized the taxonomies from within WPML to fix the footer display issues. For the missing translations, we advised verifying that all strings are fully translated in WPML->String Translation and checking the source of these strings.
