Unable to translate widget title in the sidebar

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

Problem:
You are trying to get the widget title translated into every language on your website, but the widget title remains in Italian, the default language, instead of being translated.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML >> String Translation page.
2. Open the 'Not seeing strings that you are looking for?' section and click on the Admin texts translation link.
3. Search for the 'Prenota la Tua Barca Ora' string and enable its translation.
4. Return to the WPML >> String Translation page and add its translation.

If the issue still persists after following these steps, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably a staging site), so that we can look into your setup and debug the issue. Ensure you back up your database and website before making changes or providing access.

This solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. 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 this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

jaspalS-3	Background of the issue: I am trying to get the widget title translated in every language on my website. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link. I expected to see the widget title 'Prenota ora la tua barca' translated into English and German. Symptoms: The widget title remains in Italian, which is the default language, instead of being translated. Questions: How can I translate the widget title into different languages? Why is the widget title not translating as expected?
