 * After some bugs was added a child theme:
 * Flatsome Child
 * I need to update strings from the translation menu and noticed that it doesn’t
   change anything on the child theme, but changes in the main theme.
 * I followed this guide: [https://polylang.pro/doc/my-theme-provides-a-wpml-config-xml-but-nothing-appears-in-the-strings-translation-table/](https://polylang.pro/doc/my-theme-provides-a-wpml-config-xml-but-nothing-appears-in-the-strings-translation-table/)
 * The the code edit in the css file found “key name” Flatsome Child.
 * Copied wpml-config.xml, edited to key name=”flatsomechild”, create a folder polylang
   in /wp-content/ and added a file.
 * The approach didn’t work. Then I checked child’s theme folder name, it’s flatsome-
   child, updated key name to flatsome-child. Still doesn’t work.
 * What am I doing wrong and how to fix this?
