Have you tried locating the strings using the following steps?

1. Go to WPML → String Translation.
2. Enable the option "Look for strings while pages are rendered."
3. Navigate to the page where the untranslated strings are displayed.
4. Return to WPML → String Translation, disable the option, and check if the specific string has been registered.
5. If it is registered, proceed to translate the string.

If you are still experiencing issues, please indicate where the problem can be observed and explain how you created this button.

Yes - I did it. It's the normal button widget of my skin. I have lots of such a buttons - withoua any problems - they are translated. But this one I putted into sidebar right. As I remember I had similar problem trying to put button into header. I've made it in js, and translated without wpml - because situation was simillar.
Now I managed to find text of this button - which is translated, but although I have many the same links translated - none of them is responsible for this button. I can give you my wordpress password - and you can try to check it yourself.
So we're talking about button in my sidebar widget. It's text is "book now" - pl: "rezerwuj". Original link is gorskaosada.com/book-now, pl: gorskaosada.com/pl/rezerwuj - this one doesn't work.

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you please show me on the screenshots where you have filled in the button with text or explain how you created it?

I checked the links you provided, but I do not see the button on gorskaosada.com/pl/rezerwuj. Am I missing something? Could you point it out in the screenshot?

Please demonstrate how the button was added and the link.

If you used the WPML translation editor to translate a page, you can try this method: https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/

How can I do this? I need to give you my wordpress account access - that you could see it.
You will go to my: Appearance - Customize - widgets - sidebar widget
And will see how it's made - just added new area with seafarer button (my page template widget for buttons)
As I sauid this widget works with wpml if it's added on website - but doesn't if its added in widgets like footer header and sidebar

Is it public? May i sand you here access to my wordpress?

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

Please include necessary screenshots.

Thank you. I will check and let you know. I think there is no need for FTP for now.

I successfully translated the link. The correct link is found under the name [widget_seafarer_core_button][12]link. Initially, the translation didn't appear until I added the configuration for this link in the WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration tab.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Navigate to Admin Texts Translation in WPML → String Translation.
2. Select the string and click on "Export as a WPML configuration file."
3. Put the configuration into the WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration tab.
4. Double-check to ensure the translation exists.

I have attached screenshots for reference.
