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

Problem:
If you're experiencing missing sections when translating the footer using the 'Translate myself' feature, and these sections are absent from the final translation result when switching languages.
Solution:
First, ensure that the menus or sections you're trying to translate are indeed translated. For example, if the 'Quick Links' section in the footer is missing, check if it's translated by going to the WordPress menu section:

We also recommend reviewing our documentation on translating menus with WPML, which provides multiple methods for accomplishing this:

When translating the footer on my webpage using the 'Translate myself' feature, I encounter an issue within the 'Translations queue'. Certain sections do not appear for translation. Upon switching from English to Spanish, these sections that were initially missing from the translation queue are completely absent from the final result. How can I resolve this problem to ensure all sections are accurately translated and displayed in both languages?

Hi there.

From the screenshots that you attached, all I can see that is different is that two menus are missing, is that what you are referring to?

Thank you for the confirmation.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Our Debugging Procedures

I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.

Privacy and Security Policy

We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see:
https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/

**IMPORTANT**

- Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access.

- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.

The private box looks like this: hidden link

I will be waiting for your response.

Hi and thank you for the credentials.

I can confirm that I was already able to log in successfully.

I am currently spending more time on this and I will get back to you as soon as I have more feedback.

I will leave the ticket assigned to myself for the moment.

PS: Just note that there's a weekend ahead and I don't work on the weekends so I will be able to get back to you at the beginning of next week.

Hope that's ok.

Kind regards,
Mihai

Hi there and thank you for your amazing patience.

I think the main issue here is that these menus are not translated yet.

As an example, let's take a look at the "Quick Links" section from the footer:

I am also attaching some screenshots below.

I am also sharing the documentation for translation menus with WPML (there are multiple ways you can do that):
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/

Please let me know if that resolves the issue.

I will be wainting for your confirmation.

Mihai
