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

Problem:
You are trying to translate the 'read more' link text inside a Query Loop using WPML, but it is not being detected for translation. Despite using automatic translation, manual string search, and scanning strings in themes, plugins, and WordPress, the text remains untranslated.

Solution:
1. Follow the steps in our guide to find and translate strings that don't appear in String Translation. You can find the guide here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/
2. Increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB, as recommended. You can do this by adding the following code to your wp-config.php file:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the 'read more' link text inside a Query Loop using WPML. I have attempted various methods, including automatic translation, manual string search, and scanning strings in themes, plugins, and WordPress. I have also tried duplicating the block and creating a new page with only the Query Loop and 'read more' link.

Symptoms:
The 'read more' link text does not translate. Automatic translation does not detect it, and I cannot find the specific text or string under WPML String Translation. Despite trying different versions of 'read more' and adding special characters, it remains untranslated. The untranslated strings feature is on, but it still doesn't help.

Questions:
Why is the 'read more' link text not being detected for translation?
How can I ensure the 'read more' link text is translated using WPML?
