Elementor Floating elements

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

Problem:
You are unable to translate the new Elementor Floating buttons on your site.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML. After adding the code, make a small change to the default language template, save it, and then re-translate. This should resolve the issue.

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="contact-buttons-var-4">
      <fields-in-item items_of="contact_repeater">
        <field>contact_tooltip</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. 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. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

tenzinJ	Thanks, code added, buttons translated. Change is not yet visible. Anything else to do? Also how to change the icon with an envelope with Kontakt text?

tenzinJ	Ok, I see the button translation now. So the only icon is to be translated, envelope and Kontakt. This is SVG file and english version is added in the media translation.
