Karin	Hi Otto, Only one template was translated. Other templates - p. ex the template for posts (hidden link) were NOT translated (see heading in the sidebar which is still in German; weird as well: The related posts being shown in the sidebar are different German/English, even with all posts being translated). Update: The following is weird because I am sure it worked when I checked on Friday night. But now the sidebar is again not fully translated. Just compare yourself: hidden link hidden link I have no clue why it worked and now no longer works. But I leave this for later. Thanks and regards, Karin

Otto WPML Supporter since 09/2015 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires (GMT-03:00)	Hi Karin, Let me rephrase the issue: On pages that use custom templates (single posts and portfolio items), only the German template loads; the English version reuses the German sidebar (heading still in German). This seems to be this case: https://wpml.org/errata/template-is-not-applied-to-translated-page/ Can you please give it another try to that solution? Best Regards, Otto
