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

Problem:
You've added a new page to your site with elements that aren't working correctly when trying to translate them using WPML. Specifically, these elements do not appear in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) and remain untranslated on the front end after translation.
Solution:
The issue stems from the Forminator plugin not being compatible with WPML. Despite attempts to make Forminator compatible with WPML, it is currently not possible to translate the forms using WPML's Translation Editor. We recommend using a WPML compatible form plugin instead. You can find a list of compatible plugins here: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/form/

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please open a new support ticket. We also 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. For further assistance, you can contact us directly through the WPML support forum.

I’ve added a new page to the sandbox site with the elements that aren’t working correctly. The page is called “Test page – WPML.”

When I try to translate this page, the problematic elements don’t appear in the ATE editor. After completing the translation, these elements remain untranslated on the front end.

I believe I’ve added everything necessary on my side to demonstrate the issue. Please check if it’s possible to fix this. Thank you for your time and effort in addressing this matter.

Hello there,

I created this ticket to address the Forminator issue.

It's actually not possible to translate pattern translations using the WordPress Editor.

The issue here is that the Forminator plugin is not WPML compatible. We've tried a couple of times to make that happen along with their team, but it's still not possible to translate the forms using WPML's Translation Editor.

Here, my recommendation is for you to use a WPML compatible form plugin, instead of Forminator:

I appreciate your comprehension on this matter.
