Problem: The client has translated their header and footer using WPML, but the footer is only displaying in English across different language versions of the site. Solution: We found that the footer needs to be manually selected in the "Page Settings" section for each translated page. To resolve this issue, edit each translated page and ensure that the translated footer is selected. This adjustment was made on the homepage as an example.

The client is unable to translate the footer of their website using WPML, despite having successfully translated the header. They are using the 7Up Theme.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking if the Footer post type is set to be translatable. You can do this by navigating to WPML>>Settings>>Post Type Translation. Ensure you perform a site backup first, then set the option for the Footer post type to Translatable – only show translated items and save the changes. Afterwards, attempt to translate the Footer posts to see if the issue is resolved.
For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on translating custom posts: Translating Custom Posts.

You can do this by visiting https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ and clicking on "Download WPML manually" at the bottom of the page. Regarding your query about the String Translation plugin, yes, you need to install it to translate strings from themes and plugins or to handle page builder content.
