[Resolved] Text added by CSS in Elementor

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

Problem:
The client wants to translate the text added using the CSS "content" property.

Solution:
Sorry, you can’t translate strings from the CSS section/file using the WPML >> String Translation page. However, You can use the ‘:lang’ selector before other selectors to use different CSS for different languages.

Hi,

I added some text with CSS in a filter widget. Is it possible to translate this? I can't find it in the String translation.
I tried changing the _jet_engine_listing_css into “translate” but still couldn't find the word “discover” to translate.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Sorry, you can’t translate strings from the CSS section/file using WPML >> String Translation page. However, You can use the ‘:lang’ selector before other selectors to use different CSS for different languages. So in this case you may use the CSS below to display different strings in different languages. Please replace below CSS: 

.jet-radio-list__label::before {
	content: "discover";
}

With: 

:lang(en) .jet-radio-list__label::before {
	content: "discover";
}

:lang(de) .jet-radio-list__label::before {
	content: "DE discover";
}

:lang(fr) .jet-radio-list__label::before {
	content: "FR discover";
}

:lang(nl) .jet-radio-list__label::before {
	content: "NL discover";
}

And update the string.

Here is doc for more details:
