Translate Blurbs in Divi 5?

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

Problem:
You are trying to translate the Blurbs under 'METAL INDUSTRIEL HISTORY' using WPML in Divi 5, but they are not appearing in the Advanced Translation Editor. You have updated the wpml-config.xml and made changes to the English page.
Solution:
The issue arises because Divi 5 has transitioned from using shortcodes to Gutenberg blocks, which necessitates a new integration approach. Currently, only a limited number of specific blocks are supported by WPML. Full support for all blocks is planned once Divi 5 reaches its beta stage. For now, you can use a working XML configuration found in a German support thread here: https://wpml.org/de/forums/topic/divi-elemente-nicht-sichtbar/#post-17147476

bennyG	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate the Blurbs under 'METAL INDUSTRIEL HISTORY' on my site hidden link using WPML. I've updated wpml-config.xml with the latest version from hidden link, which should cover the most important blocks in Divi 5. I have also made small changes on the English page and tried resaving the XML. Symptoms: The Blurbs under 'METAL INDUSTRIEL HISTORY' are not showing up in the Advanced Translation Editor. Questions: Why are the Blurbs under 'METAL INDUSTRIEL HISTORY' not appearing in the Advanced Translation Editor? Is there a specific step I am missing in updating the wpml-config.xml for Divi 5? What else can I try to make the Blurbs appear in the translation editor?

bennyG	Hi, I've installed Divi 5, copied that wpml-config.xml and copied my home page content. When opening the French translation of the home page in the Advanced Translation Editor, I don't see the expected content. In fact, I don't see anything, so it's even worse here. Please investigate.

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi, A German speaking client asked about the same issue yesterday. The issue is that with Divi 5, they’ve moved from shortcodes to Gutenberg blocks, which requires a completely new integration. At the moment, only a limited number of specific blocks are supported. Full support is planned once Divi 5 reaches its beta stage. In the meantime, you can find a working XML config in this German support thread: https://wpml.org/de/forums/topic/divi-elemente-nicht-sichtbar/#post-17147476 Additional technical details are available here: hidden link Best regards, Marcel
