WPML admin string translation

### 1. **Enable WPML String Translation Module**
– Ensure the **WPML String Translation** module is installed and active. This module is required to manage strings used in the WordPress admin.

### 2. **Locate Admin Strings for Translation**
– Go to **WPML → String Translation** in the WordPress dashboard.
– In the **"Domains"** dropdown filter, look for domains related to admin strings. These domains typically include:
– `admin_texts_[option_name]`: Strings saved in the options table (e.g., theme settings or plugin settings).
– `admin`: General admin-related strings.
– Specific plugin or theme domains for admin panels.

### 3. **Register Admin Texts**
– If you can't find the string you're looking for, you may need to register it:
1. Go to **WPML → Theme and plugins localization**.
2. Scroll to the **Admin texts** section.
3. Click the **"Admin texts"** link to open the interface for registering admin options.
4. Use the checkboxes to select the specific strings you want to translate (e.g., theme settings, plugin options).
5. Save the changes.

### 4. **Translate Admin Strings**
– Once registered, return to **WPML → String Translation**.
– Filter for the domain of the admin text or search for the specific string.
– Click the **"Translate"** button next to the string to provide translations.

### 5. **Save and Test**
– Save your translations.
– Visit the relevant part of the WordPress admin in the translated language to ensure the strings are correctly displayed.

### 6. **Additional Tips**
– For dynamic strings or strings stored in custom fields, you may need to check WPML's **Custom Fields Translation** settings.
– If a string is still missing, use WPML's **Debug Information** or consult WPML support to ensure your setup is configured correctly.

### 1. **Enable "Look for Strings While Pages Are Loaded"**
– Go to **WPML → String Translation**.
– Scroll down and enable **"Track where strings appear on the site"** or **"Look for strings while pages are loaded"**.
– Visit the WordPress admin section containing the strings you want to translate to "register" them.
– Return to the String Translation page and search for those strings again.

—

### 2. **Manually Register Admin Texts**
– Navigate to **WPML → String Translation**.
– Scroll to the bottom and click on the **"Translate texts in admin screens"** link.
– Use the search bar to find the setting or text group where your strings might be saved.
– Example: Look for options related to themes, plugins, or specific settings.
– Check the boxes for the specific strings and click **"Apply"** to register them.
– After registering, these strings will now appear in **WPML → String Translation**.

—

### 3. **Search by Domain or Key**
– Use the **"Domain"** filter in WPML String Translation.
– Common domains for admin strings include:
– `admin_texts_theme_mods_[theme-name]` (for theme options).
– `admin_texts_[plugin-name]` (for plugin settings).
– Search for relevant domains or specific terms related to the string.

—

### 4. **Export and Inspect Strings**
– Go to **WPML → String Translation** and use the **Export strings** feature to export all strings to a `.po` file.
– Open the `.po` file in a text editor (e.g., PoEdit) and search for the missing string to identify its domain and key.
– Use this information to find the string in WPML.

—

### 5. **Check WPML Logs for Unregistered Strings**
– If the strings are dynamic and not saved as options, they might not register automatically.
– Enable WPML debug logging:
– Add this to your `wp-config.php` file:

define('WPML_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

– Reload the page where the string appears.
– Check the logs for details about unregistered strings or errors.

—

### 6. **Check Custom Code or Theme/Plugin Configurations**
– Some strings are hardcoded or dynamically generated by themes/plugins. To register such strings:
1. Wrap them with WordPress's `__()` or `_e()` functions in the theme/plugin code.
2. Add them manually to the translation domain in the `.po` files.
– If you're not the developer, reach out to the theme/plugin authors to confirm compatibility with WPML.

—

### 7. **Use WPML Support**
– If none of these methods work, go to **WPML → Support → Debug Information** and generate debug information.
– Share this with WPML's support team to help identify why the strings are missing.
