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

Problem:
You have developed your website using Elementor widgets and templates. In the WordPress sidebar, you see tabs for pages, sessions, speakers, footers, and headers. However, in WPML > Translation Management, only the 'pages' tab is available for translation, and other necessary tabs are missing.
Solution:
First, navigate to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and check for any matching post types. Ensure to set those post types to "Translatable - only show translated content". This adjustment should make those post types available within Translation Management.
If you still do not see the strings for specific widgets in the WPML Translation Editor, it may be because the widgets' author has not yet created a wpml-config.xml file, which is necessary for making these widgets translatable.
We also recommend sending us the WPML debugging information to help us better understand your setup. You can find more information on how to provide this at https://wpml.org/de/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/.

Background of the issue:
We have developed our website using Elementor widgets and templates. In WordPress sidebar, we have separately the tabs: pages, sessions, speakers, footers, headers. In WPML > Translation management I can see only 'pages' tab for translation but not other tabs that we need to translate.

Symptoms:
In WPML > Translation management I can see only 'pages' tab for translation but not other tabs that we need to translate.

Questions:
Is there a way to add those Elementor widgets (speakers/sessions/headers/footers) as well so we can translate their content too?

Hello,

First of all, please go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and check for any matching post types. Make sure to set those post types to "Translatable - only show translated content".

Now, you should have those post types available inside Translation Management.

In case you do not see the strings for specific widgets inside the WPML Translation Editor, then the reason would be that the author of those widgets did not yet create a wpml-config.xml file which makes these widgets translatable.

It would also be very helpful if you could send us the WPML debugging information.
