The wpml plugin has options to change translation for individual strings. Assuming your code has

<span>Contact Us</span>

It should have been output using php like this

<span><?php echo __('Contact Us', 'text-domain')__; ?></span>

(More about text-domain later)

Then you can go to wpml menu in admin and choose "Theme and Plugin Localization" where you will see possibility to translate all plugins and themes in their different text-domains.

As for your theme, it should appear there with its text-domain name. Then you can "Scan selected themes for strings" and afterwards once you click on your theme name you will see all the strings that were found. Now translate.
