I need to translate gutenberg fields (which are made with react I guess). I found the correct text domain in the frontend react file, WPML even sees them in string translation but when I translate them, nothing changes.
One example of an article saying to find the option: https://wpml.org/errata/translating-strings-from-javascript-files-using-wp_set_script_translations/

My WPML is the latest version, but there is not String translation section in WPML -> Settings.

While this issue gets assigned, can you try updating "WPML Multilingual CMS" and "WPML String Translation" to the latest versions?

The feature you are looking for was recently released and you might not have it yet.

Yes, I needed to check for updates manually in WPML
