Unable translete the information dropbar widget

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're unable to find the dropbar information in the advanced translation dashboard while using WPML.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following custom XML configuration to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. This will make the dropbar widget translatable:

<wpml-config>
<elementor-widgets>
<widget name="jet-dropbar">
<fields>
<field>button_text</field>
<field>simple_content</field>
<field>wysiwyg_editor</field>
<field>ha_cmc_text</field>
</fields>
</widget>
</elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Could you highlight the dropbar widget using a screenshot? Also, I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified. Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements. Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me. ✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

clement-chwin-chiatN	Hi, I believe the issue has been resolved, and I’ve found a good solution. However, I’d like to check—how can we translate the widget text such as "Email Us" (as shown here: hidden link)? It appears to be non-editable. Looking forward to your advice.
