Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate pages on my website hidden link using WPML. I usually follow the forum and my previous experience with WPML for guidance.

Symptoms:
Some of the Elementor blocks on the Home page are not appearing in the WPML Translator or the String Translator. For example, these three blocks do not appear: hidden link

Questions:
Why are some Elementor blocks not appearing in the WPML Translator?
How can I make these Elementor blocks appear in the String Translator?
Is it a known issue or I am experiencing something unique?

Hi there,

Please edit the page using Elementor and inspect the elements that are not being pulled for translation into the Translation Editor.

Click on them and share with me if they are an element originating from Elementor or an add-on plugin.

There is a chance these elements are not native Elementor elements and we might need to register them using a custom XML configuration file.

Thank you for your response. For now, I have noticed that these two blocks do not appear in the Translator:
For example, Heading & Subheading
hidden link
and Icon Box
hidden link

Thank you for sharing the screenshot!

At the top of the elements section, notice they are listed under Wilddale

These elements come from the theme and are most likely not optimized to be picked up in the translation editors.

to register them they will need to be registered with custom configuration XML as shown here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/

Another option is to manually translate them, to do this follow these steps:

- Visit the translation in the front end while logged in as an admin
- Click at the top admin bar "edit with elementor"
- This will open the elementor editor.
- Manually edit the element and add the translation and update.

Let me know your results, please.
