[Resolved] I can't find widget button in string translations
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: You are working on a site under development and using WPML for string translations but cannot find the widget button in string translations. Solution: First, try locating the strings with these 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. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/ If the string is still missing, follow these steps to add a custom XML configuration: 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.

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.
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?
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.

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.
