Background of the issue:
I have built a bilingual website with Elementor, where the main language is Greek and the secondary language is English. I am trying to ensure that all elements of the site, including templates, are properly translated.
Symptoms:
On the single post page, while the actual post is translated and showing in English, the header, footer, and widget title are still in Greek.
Questions:
Why are the header, footer, and widget title not translating to English on the single post page?
How can I ensure that all template items are translated using WPML?

Hi,
I need to review the template translations through WPML → Translation Management.
I would eventually also need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed
Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.
✙ Please add the Links to the […] Edit Screen, the Page/Post where you insert the […] and the corresponding Front End Page/Screen

Hi,
Thanks for your message!
If you open hidden link, you’ll see a button in the top bar called “Επεξεργασία με τον Elementor.” When you hover over it, you can view all active Elementor templates on the site.
Currently, we have:
- Main Footer
- ANIMA Header – Main Menu
1) Please go to hidden link">this page in the dashboard.
2) Select "Elementor Templates", and send "ANIMA Header – Main Menu" for translation, as it's not finished yet.
3) Note: The "Main Footer" is not a standard Elementor template. Instead, it comes from your theme and can be found here: hidden link.
I can see that it’s already translated: hidden link. It should output the “Main Footer ENG” layout for the English version, but this is never being called, it outputs still "Main Footer" (the Greek original). That suggests a misconfiguration within your theme, not from the translation itself.
