Problem:
The client is unable to locate and translate the text above the search box in the Kadence modal search box on their website.
Solution:
We advised the client that the text they are trying to translate is added through the theme's functions.php file and is not set up for translation by default.
To make this text translatable, they should replace the existing function in
functions.php
with the following code:
function kt_add_form_title( $form ) {
$content = '<div class="search-modal-content"><h5>' . __('What are you looking for?', 'your-text-domain') . '</h5></div>';
return $content . $form;
}
After updating the function, they should navigate to WPML->Themes and Plugin Localization to scan the theme and then translate the text using WPML's String Translation. For more details on theme internationalization, visit WordPress Theme Internationalization.

Problem: The client was unable to translate the author link to point to the about page in the second language, translate sidebar category buttons, and set up a different newsletter pop-up for each language using Mailerlite. Solution: 1) For the author link, we recommended checking if the link is saved as a string that can be translated via WPML's String Translation. If not found, the client should follow the guide on finding strings that don't appear on the string translation page (documentation). Additionally, we provided a custom code solution to dynamically change the author link based on the current language using WPML functions:
2) For translating sidebar buttons, since they are part of a WordPress widget block, we directed the client to follow the steps in our guide on translating widgets (documentation). If the widgets are not appearing under Appearance > Widgets due to theme limitations, contacting the theme developer for assistance was recommended. 3) Regarding the Mailerlite pop-up, since WPML does not currently integrate with Mailerlite, we suggested manually creating separate pop-ups for each language or contacting the plugin author about potential integration with WPML.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues (here), verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
