## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need installed before translating a page with WPML and The Plus Addons for Elementor?**
A: The setup depends on four plugins: Elementor, The Plus Addons for Elementor, WPML Multilingual CMS, and WPML String Translation. The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH is fully compatible with WPML in both free and pro versions, so the translation workflow starts cleanly once those plugins are active. That matters because WPML setup and string translation both rely on the multilingual core plus the string translation add-on.

**Q: What should I do if my translated page does not show the language switcher?**
A: That usually points to a site setting issue rather than a problem with the page itself. The tutorial notes that depending on your website settings, the language switcher might not appear at the bottom of the website. In practice, that means the translation can still exist even if the switcher is hidden. The translated content should still be viewable in the browser once the translation is saved.

**Q: Can I translate both page content and plugin strings from The Plus Addons for Elementor?**
A: The workflow covers both. Page content is handled through WPML Translation Management or the WPML translation editor, while plugin strings are handled through WPML String Translation after scanning the plugin in WPML > Theme and plugins localization. The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH supports this split approach because content text and plugin interface strings are translated in different parts of WPML.

**Q: What is the best way to translate a page built with an Info Box widget?**
A: Translation Management is the cleaner route when you want to translate an entire page built with The Plus Addons for Elementor widgets like Info Box. The tutorial uses a services page made with Info Box as an example, then sends that page through WPML > Translation Management so you can choose how each language gets translated. That keeps all page text together instead of handling each piece separately from scratch.

**Q: How do I translate The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin strings in WPML?**
A: String translation starts with a scan. In WPML > Theme and plugins localization, select The Plus Addons for Elementor and The Plus Addons for Elementor - Pro under Strings in plugin, then scan selected plugins for strings. After that, go to WPML > String Translation and use the plus icon beside each string to add the translated text for each language. This is useful when you need to translate plugin-generated labels or interface text separately from page content.
