Sure, To take a closer look at this issue, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.

✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is essential.
✙ Please provide me the News page link/screenshot where I can see untranslated strings.
- Thanks for providing the login details. I scanned the Divi theme from WPML >> Theme and plugins localization page and searched for the required strings in WPML >> String Translation page. I was able to find them.
Could you please try translating these two strings from there and see if this resolves the issue?

2. Next entries: hidden link
