Background of the issue:
I'm using Divi, and my website is translated into DE and EN with WPML. I've created a new header and footer for the new homepage. I've built them in Divi Theme Builder and saved them as sections in the Divi library. Both are translated in WPML.
hidden link

Symptoms:
When I change something in sections in Divi Library, the changes don't appear on the page.
Also, it happened several times that on my German page, the header with menu and footer all of a sudden are in English. Again, everything is translated, but I don't understand why this happens.

Questions:
Why don't changes in Divi Library sections appear on the page?
Why does the German page display the header and footer in English despite being translated?

Hi, I've updated the plugins.
The questions are still the same.
Where would I need to update the content so that it appears on the right page (EN/DE)?
Is it Layout in Divi Library or Divi Theme Builder?
At the moment, if I update the layout in the Divi Library, nothing changes on the page.
Thanks for investigating.

I tried various things and still see that hidden link does not apply to the hidden link

This is what you are reporting, correct? Any other affected template? I am checking this with our 2nd tier and will keep you posted.

Hi
These should be working, and they are not.

Furthermore, my English menu looks slightly differently now, can you explain?
And when I clicked to edit the Footer, I got this message - see the screenshot. What should I do? I'm not using automatic translations, I translate everything myself

Hello,
When I'm trying to translate my layout with the mega menu in WPML, I see just admin labels "Menu 1" and "Menu 2", but no text. Please see the screenshot.
Where can I edit the content of the menu in different languages?

I am no longer able to access the site, can you recreate the user or the password?

Also, can you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/pexlechris-adminer/?

I marked your next reply as private so that you can safely add credentials.

We will not change anything in database, only observe if we can find some discrepancies in database related to the template assignment. This will not affect your site in any way.

Still, without the new plug, can you please review my message from April, 5th?

This should be possible for you to check?

If you want to translate everything yourself, do you mean you want to translate it in the Divi directly? If so, you can do this:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/#how-to-get-different-designs-for-different-translations

As for the missing URLs, if these are not default Divi elements, they would require this:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/maintaining-divi-builder-compatibility-wpml/#page-builder-shortcode-structure-in-the-language-configuration-file

Though URLs are typically not shows in ATE and can be translated like this:
https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/#translating-internal-links

Let me know if you need help with any of this.
