nimaS-2	Hi, We have a problem in attribute pages, we have two langueges in our website: Arabic & english. First & default language is Arabic. Our problem in Attribute pages, for example next to the color attribute in the Arabic language, the word "product" is placed, and this string is "لون Products" in the strings. How can I translate the word "product" in this string?

Mohamed Sayed	Hi there, Thanks for contacting WPML support. This is the original string, could you please edit the original taxonomy (Where the attribute is created) and check if you can replace the name from there? Let me know please if that helps. Kind regards, Mohamed

nimaS-2	Yes, We tried to edit original attribute, but in the edit page, there is no "product" string!

nimaS-2	Hello, thank you, this solution solved the problem in breadcrumb, but another problem still exists in the attribute page address. As you can see in the screenshot below, the string "لون" has been translated everywhere, but it still shows Arabic in the attribute address in English!

Mohamed Sayed	The issue was fixed with the following steps: - Removing the string from WPML > String Translation - Resaving the original slug - Translating the string in WPML > String Translation - Switching the source language of the string to Arabic - Translating again Now the slug appears translated as you can see here: hidden link Please check and confirm.

nimaS-2	Hello Thank you for your explanation, I checked the site and thank you for solving the problem. Can you explain the steps of the solution in more detail? We want to apply these changes in the rest of the attributes, but We did not understand exactly where we should apply the changes. Is it possible to show me the places where the changes should be applied with a screenshot? Especially in the following cases: - Resaving the original slug - Switching the source language of the string to Arabic

nimaS-2	Hi I couldn't get anything from your solution. I did this solution for the material attribute. According to the solution you explained, I first removed all the material strings and مادة from the wpml > string translation. After that, I went to the attribute section again and edited and saved the مادة attribute. But when I go to wpml > string translation again, there is no string with this name material or مادة !
