Translate footer

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

Some themes allow you to set elements like footers via theme options. Once you translate the footer, you need to tell your theme which footer to display in each language.

To do this, go to WPML > String Translation and search for the ID of the default language footer. If you can't find it, click on the Translate texts in admin screens link and manually add it to the String Translation table. Then, add the secondary language ID as the translation. Your translated footer should now display on the front-end.

For a step-by-step guide, see the page about translating theme options like footers, headers, templates, and more.

ezequielP	I had already placed a similar ticket and it was resolved. However, as I use this theme on several sites, I need to understand how I do it to solve the problem instead of you solving it. That way I don't have to be bothering every time I install a theme. Initial ticket - #11122061 Resolution ticket - #11140479 "This is now resolved A new admin_text entry for the footer reference needed to be added to String Translation which I did for you. (see image). Now the correct footer reference is used in English." So I need to know how to enter the new admin_text. Best regards Ezequiel

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Perfect, thank you. This is the way you can search for strings in the admin-text strings area: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/ After you find the correct one, you add it to WPML String Translation, and then you do exactly what my colleague shared here: https://wpml.org/pt-br/forums/topic/footer-elementor-wpbingo/#post-11140479 Mihai
