Problem:
The client was unable to translate the header, footer, and page title images using WPML on their multilingual site. They also faced issues with hardcoded links in the header not pointing to the correct language versions and had difficulties with theme options not being applied correctly across different languages.
Solution:
1. To translate the header and footer, we recommended making the post type 'Translatable' in WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation and then using the WPML Translation Editor. For translating widgets in the footer, we directed the client to follow our guide on translating widgets (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/).

2. For the page title images, the solution involved registering the image URLs as strings in WPML > String Translation and then translating them to the URLs of the images for each language. This process was detailed in our guide on finding and translating strings (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#register-admin-and-setting-strings-for-translation).

3. To address the issue with hardcoded links in the header, we suggested editing these directly in the translated header template using Elementor or adjusting them in the Advanced Translation Editor.

4. For theme options, we set relevant fields to 'Copy' or 'Copy once' in WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation to ensure that theme settings are consistent across languages.
