 * I have a problem with translating description (u can see it near logo: [http://veincenter.com.pl/](http://veincenter.com.pl/)).
   I can’t set description in wordpress options but in theme options so i guess 
   that’s the point. Is there any way to solve that?

 * Is it this theme? [http://themeforest.net/item/doctor-universal-medical-wordpress-theme/4052132](http://themeforest.net/item/doctor-universal-medical-wordpress-theme/4052132)
 * If yes, have you a wpml-config.xml in your theme directory? that should be the
   way to achieve this with both WPML and Polylang.

 * Yes, here:
 *     ```
       <wpml-config>
           <custom-types>
               <custom-type translate="1">ait-service-box</custom-type>
               <custom-type translate="1">ait-testimonial</custom-type>
               <custom-type translate="1">ait-gridgallery</custom-type>
               <custom-type translate="1">ait-team</custom-type>
               <custom-type translate="1">ait-faq</custom-type>
           </custom-types>
           <taxonomies>
               <taxonomy translate="1">ait-service-box-category</taxonomy>
               <taxonomy translate="1">ait-testimonial-category</taxonomy>
               <taxonomy translate="1">ait-gridgallery-category</taxonomy>
               <taxonomy translate="1">ait-team-category</taxonomy>
               <taxonomy translate="1">ait-faq-category</taxonomy>
           </taxonomies>
       </wpml-config>
       ```

 * I’ve translated everything that is included in this file 😐

 * Well. That means that your theme has multilingual support for custom post types
   and taxonomies. But there is nothing related to strings you enter in theme options.
   That’s done through a `<admin-texts>` section in this file (see [http://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/the-wpml-language-configuration-file/](http://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/the-wpml-language-configuration-file/))
   
   You should ask the theme author to add support for translation of the description
   in wpml-config.xml.

 * I already asked author.. this is what he replied:
 * > Hi, this tagline can be translated in admin area. When you switch languages,
   > you can add different text to these sections for different language. So just
   > switch to another language and change this string. Most of the text which are
   > added in admin and displayed on page can be translated like this.
 * I went to admin and in top menu I switched language but it didnt help me so I
   decided to ask You.

 * I don’t know how it works. This functionality is not documented by WPML. If the
   theme author shares the way he makes this in his code, then I may try to support
   this.
