 * How does one access where to translate the “Additional Content” field via WPML?
 * It doesn’t appear in WPML’s String Translation interface. Just menu_title and
   menu_to_use show up there.

 * Also, the WPML option of including a language switcher menu in a WP menu does
   not seem to be supported in the menu selected for the Responsive Menu.

 * Hi there,
 * Do you have documentation to the WPML Language Switcher option as this is not
   something I have heard of before.
 * To switch the menu you just need to use the menu_to_use option and select a different
   menu.
 * In regards additional content this is not currently supported in our WPML integration
   but I will get it added for you.
 * All the best

 * Hey there,
 * Ive added Additional Content as an WPML option to the beta now if you would like
   to download and test it.

 * Hi, I actually managed to work around the issue by using a custom menu with additional
   CSS to style the secondary links I had put in the additional content previously,
   and I used a php shortcode (via Post Snippets) for the language switcher menu
   only in the additional content, which seems to self-translate.
 * The “Displaying a language switcher in the menu” option is described on this 
   page near the bottom: [https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/](https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/)
 * This page describes it’s limitations a bit more:

 * Hey there,
 * Having read through those pages (thanks for those by the way), I think it would
   be difficult for my plugin to integrate with that WPML feature properly.
 * Currently the best way to do this is to select a different “menu_to_use” translation
   for a menu in another language and the same for the menu title, additional content
   and button title. Using a combo of these four you can fully translate the menu
   in different languages.
 * Alternatively you can use the shortcode with a php if statement dependent upon
   the locale to dynamically translate the text.
 * I hope that will suffice and if you need any further help please dont hesitate
   to let me know.
 * All the best
