calypsoP	Hi there, Thank you for resolving my previous issue. However, I encountered another problem with the footer. The phone number was not detected by the Advanced Translation Editor; only the link was recognized, but not the digits themselves. Additionally, when I input numbers, they appear in Arabic instead of Hindi, the desired language. To work around this, I have been sending myself a WhatsApp message in Arabic with Hindi digits and then copying and pasting it into the Advanced Translation Editor. However, this is not a sustainable solution. Is there a more effective approach to addressing this issue? You can find the Footer under WP Dashboard > Templates > Saved Templates > Filter (all) > Footer.

For more information: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ I searched for it and added Arabic numbers. (check the screenshot) Please change it according to your needs. Thanks.

I have Persian language on my device and it has the same number methods. Alternatively you can copy/paste the numbers here: ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩ Thanks.

calypsoP	Hi there, Thank you again for your reply. I have the Arabic language on my machine with Hindi numbers. If I type in Word, Notepad, or even the calculator on my Windows machine, they all type in Hindi numbers. Even when I type numbers in any of these apps and then paste them in the WPML Advanced translation, it changes to Arabic numerals. I recorded the above in a video: hidden link
