Problem: The client is trying to translate a specific string on their website, which is added using the Elementor page builder, but is unsure how to do so. Solution: 1. Open the default language page in Edit mode. 2. Make a small change, such as adding a space or a + sign in the page title. 3. Save the page. 4. Remove the small change made in step 2. 5. Update the page again. 6. Try to open the translated page in WPML Translation Editor to see if the title is now available for translation. If the title is still not available in WPML Translation Editor, the client may need to register the element by following this documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/

Problem: The client was unable to see the translated texts of the Apifon form on the front end of their website after using WPML to translate them. Solution: We first verified that the form was correctly translated on the English version of the site.

This configuration ensures that the specific fields of the Apifon Elementor Form Widget are translatable. Here is the XML code we used:

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. The heading of the BetterDocs search widget cannot be translated, although the search placeholder appears correctly on the page translations. Solution: We recommend checking if the widget has a valid XML configuration, as this is often necessary for translating custom Elementor widgets with WPML. If the strings related to this widget are not available in the WPML Translation Editor when translating the homepage, it indicates that the widget is missing a valid XML configuration.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with some text blocks not being translated and not appearing in the translation editor, and you suspect it's due to using a custom Elementor component, we can help.

Problem: Sie können im Translation Editor nur den Titel der Startseite übersetzen, aber weitere Abschnitte oder Felder des Kimono Themes von Bravisthemes werden nicht angezeigt. Solution: Es scheint, dass bestimmte XML-Konfigurationen in Ihrem Theme nicht korrekt eingestellt sind. Wir empfehlen Ihnen, die folgenden XML-Einträge zu entfernen:
<fields-in-item items_of="slider2"/>
<fields-in-item items_of="slider3"/>
<fields-in-item items_of="slider4"/>
<fields-in-item items_of="slider6"/>
Nachdem Sie diese Einträge entfernt haben, überprüfen Sie bitte, ob die fehlenden Abschnitte nun im Translation Editor angezeigt werden. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, entfernen Sie schrittweise weitere Teile der Konfiguration, um die genaue Ursache zu identifizieren.
