Problema: Estás utilizando un tema con elementos personalizados en tu sitio web y al intentar traducir la página de inicio con WPML, no puedes encontrar las cadenas dentro de estos elementos personalizados. Además, una sección dentro de la página de Elementor no se detecta para traducción. Solución: Si estás enfrentando este problema, es probable que los widgets de Elementor que no se traducen provengan del tema Winwood. Para solucionar esto, necesitas generar un código XML que te permitirá traducir esos widgets. Hemos preparado un video que muestra cómo hacerlo, que puedes ver aquí: https://komododecks.com/recordings/JABhmu0orF9kAzep6UsC Además, te recomendamos seguir esta documentación para registrar los widgets personalizados de Elementor para su traducción: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/

Problem: You are trying to translate the BetterDocs search heading on your homepage using WPML, but despite checking all related string translations and the admin side, you haven't been successful.
