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

Problem:
The buttons in the Beaver Themer header are translated on the back end but on the front end the texts are not translated and the links still point to the default language.

Solution:
In this case, the display rule for the translated header was active which excluded it from all pages.

When I edit the translated Beaver Themer header the translations of the buttons are ok and the links point to the French pages (e.g. the logo points to hidden link).

But on the frontend, the buttons are shown in German and the links point to the German pages (also the one underlying the logo, pointing to hidden link).

What can I do to fix this issue?

Since it's a staging site I can't provide a link, unless you would be so kind as to check using an admin account.

Looking forward to learn!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for contacting WPML support, I will be glad to help you.

Could you please confirm that you're following this guide to translate the header?
https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/how-to-build-multilingual-websites-using-beaver-themer-and-wpml/#translating-Beaver-Themer-layouts

Please also make sure that the Header translation is complete and shows a pencil icon.

If it's complete, please create a full database and website backup then go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting page, and click the following:

- Clear the Cache in WPML
- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- Fix element_type collation
- Fix WPML table collation
- Set language information
- Fix post type assignment for translations

Let me know please if that helps.

Regards,
Mohamed
