 * Hello everybody, I’m using this plugin to translate a website. It works perfectly
   but I can not understand how you can add strings to translate or texts that are,
   for example, in the footer, you can? Thanks to those who can help me out.

 * Hello
 * It depends.
    If they are static strings (provided by your theme) you can use 
   PoEdit or the Loco translate plugin. If you write them thanks to a theme option
   you can create a [wpml-config.xml](https://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/the-wpml-language-configuration-file/)
   or use the [pll_register_string and pll__ functions](https://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/functions-reference/).
 * Or you can create for your footer one widget per language.

 * Basically I should translate the text inserted in html in the footer and the 
   word “events” of a widget generated automatically by the theme.
