Translating content in a WordPress FSE template part / pattern

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

Problem:
You are trying to translate the 'Previous / Next' text in the Query block's navigation block within a WordPress FSE template part, but cannot find the pagination text in String Translation.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you follow these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab.
2. Paste the following XML code:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="core/query-pagination-previous" translate="1">
      <key name="label"></key>
    </gutenberg-block>
    <gutenberg-block type="core/query-pagination-next" translate="1">
      <key name="label"></key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

3. After pasting, your screen should resemble the example shown here: screenshot.
4. Make a minor adjustment to the pattern so that WPML can recognize the new elements, then retranslate.

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.

Alexandra	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate content in my index.html file, which is a WordPress FSE template part. My site is password protected (demo / broadbent). I followed the steps here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-translate-a-template-part-using-full-site-editing/. This is for a template part, not a template. I need to translate the Previous / Next text in the Query block's navigation block. See what I see here: hidden link. I looked under String Translation but I am not finding the pagination text. I translated a few instances of the words Next / Previous but nothing is changing when I go to the French version of my page. I turned on the setting to scan the site for strings but still have not found the text. Symptoms: When I go to translate, it is only showing static text in a block. The pagination text (Previous / Next) in the Query block's navigation block is not being found or translated. Questions: What is the correct way to translate text in the query navigation block?

Ilyes Supporter Languages: French (Français ) Timezone: Pacific/Easter (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Good news, we found a way to register these blocks, 1- Go to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab 2- Paste this XML code there : <wpml-config> <gutenberg-blocks> <gutenberg-block type="core/query-pagination-previous" translate="1"> <key name="label" /> </gutenberg-block> <gutenberg-block type="core/query-pagination-next" translate="1"> <key name="label" /> </gutenberg-block> </gutenberg-blocks> </wpml-config> 3- It should look like this : hidden link 4- Apply a small change to the pattern so that WPML can detect the new elements then retranslate Best,
