johannesU	Hello! Today I opened my page and realized, that WPML just reset or break translation. E.g. given on this object Page: hidden link It shows Rooms instead of Zimmer. I check WPML String Translation, and somehow it Resetted it, e.g. Rooms was written as German String. How is this possible? All my changes are reseted.

Otto	Hello, I visited the page, and it was properly translated, check the screenshot attached. All "zimmer" and no "rooms". Am I missing something? It may be due to browser's cache. I suggest checking with a different browser or in incognito mode, or clearing the browser's cache. Best Regards, Otto

johannesU	Hi Otto, I fixed it by restoring DB Backup from yesterday night. I didnt find a reason why it happened, only thing was in Houzez Theme Options, that I switched in wp-admin top menu bar language and this broke something. Could this be possible that it triggered it? As mentioned, everything was broken and wrongly translated, english default strings were shown as german.

johannesU	So to be more specific. I will highlight multiple cases in screenshot where WPML config is correct (String TRanslation), but it shows DE String in EN Page. hidden link You can find here, e.g. Informationen Anfordern (Check Screenshot) or other fields that are correctly configured in WPML but not showing correctly. I tried cleaning WPRocket Cache, but also WPML Cache + Delete Ghost Entries. Thats a big issue!

Otto	Hello, Thanks for the explanation. We need to find out what triggered the translations reset. The only strings that were reset are strings coming from the theme options, right? And you suspect it happened after switching the language in the admin while in the theme options page, right? Can you please provide me with a copy of the site, before translations reverted? You can use the plugin Duplicator or WP All in One Migration to create it. I enabled a private reply so you can provide me with a link to download the copy safely. Thanks! Best Regards, Otto
