[Waiting for user confirmation] button shows in english although the website is in german
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Elementor users - please update WPML to the latest version to maintain compatibility. More details here - https://wpml.org/changelog/2024/12/wpml-4-6-15-critical-update-for-elementor-sites/
Certain strings may require a specific procedure to be located and translated.
Moreover, the proper method for translating strings greatly depends on how they have been incorporated into the theme/plugin.
IMPORTANT: Sometimes, there are even duplicates of the same string and only one of them is the correct one that needs to be translated.
Also, sometimes, simply removing the string (checking the box and removing it) and then re-registering it again by scanning for it (one of the methods below) and re-translating it resolves the issue.
Please attempt both methods and check if either of them resolves the issue.
Method 1:
Navigate to WPML > String Translation, and at the bottom of the page, you will find a checkbox labeled "Look for strings while pages are rendered." You can enable (check) that option, then go to the front end to a page where the string is displayed, and afterward return to WPML > String Translation to search for that string and see if it now appears.
Method 2:
If you can't locate them within WPML > String Translation, they might be included as admin text strings.
PS: There is also something important to mention; if the strings come from outside of WordPress, it would be impossible for WPML to see or translate them.
