Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate strings automatically on my site hidden link. In String Translations, I am sending strings to translate.

Symptoms:
On hover, I see 'Waiting for translator to DE' (for example). WPML doesn't translate it as page, post, or CPT.

Questions:
Why are the strings not being translated automatically?
What does 'Waiting for translator to DE' mean in this context?
How can I ensure that WPML translates strings as pages, posts, or CPTs?
