Custom block translation

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

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with texts not being picked up by WPML in a custom stats block on a translated page.
Solution:
We advised the client to make their custom block translatable by adding specific XML configuration to the WPML settings. The correct XML configuration to make the custom block translatable is:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="cic/stat" translate="1">
      <key name="number"></key>
      <key name="description"></key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

After adding this configuration, the client should make a small change to the page where the block appears and retranslate the page. This should resolve the issue with the untranslated texts.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
