Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate specific elements on my WordPress site using the WPML plugin. Previously, these elements were translatable, but they are not working anymore.

Symptoms:
Unable to translate the 'verstuur' button on the contact form and block titles such as 'onze waarden', 'hoofdkantoor', and 'onze winkels' in the 'Over Essec' section on the homepage.

Questions:
How can I fix the issue with the 'verstuur' button on the contact form not translating?
What steps should I take to resolve the translation issues with the block titles in the 'Over Essec' section?

after adding following code to hidden link

the issue with not being able to translate the accordion has not been resolved, the contact form (from otterbox) still does not translate the "verstuur" button either

I set up a test install and added the Otter Blocks plugin, and as you can see on my test site, the form and tabs translated as they should.

Frontend: hidden link

Backend: hidden link

So I"m wondering if there could be a conflict on your site. Do you have a staging site where you can disable all non WPML plugins (except Otter Blocks) and temporarily switch to a default theme to see if the Otter Blocks content will then show in the translation editor? If not, you can use a plugin such as WP Staging to set one up where we would be able to test this.

Hi Lauren

I was able to fix the accordeon that did not translate the title fields by just roughly translating the words using the "edit page" in the required languages. For now the issue with the contact form button remains
