[Risolto] Impostazioni WPML

Hello WPML Support Team,

I am experiencing a serious and reproducible issue between WPML (with Advanced Translation Editor) and Oxygen Builder 4.8.x, which completely breaks the frontend rendering of translated pages.

I am writing after several days of deep troubleshooting, and I am confident this is not a configuration mistake but a structural incompatibility that needs clarification from your side.

Environment

WordPress: 6.6.x

WPML Multilingual CMS: 4.8.6

Advanced Translation Editor: enabled

Oxygen Builder: 4.8.x

PHP: 8.2

MySQL: 5.7

No caching/minification plugins active during tests

Site architecture (important)

A single global Oxygen template is used for header + footer

The template includes Inner Content (so it acts as a full page wrapper)

Page-specific content (Home, etc.) is built at page level with Oxygen

No duplicated templates per language (only one global template)

WPML language URLs in subdirectories (/en/)

This setup works perfectly in the default language (Italian).

The problem

As soon as I translate a complex Oxygen-built page (Home page) using WPML Advanced Translation Editor, the translated page (English):

Loses CSS and layout consistency

Breaks JavaScript functionality (plugins stop working)

Shows fallback content in the original language

Produces a DOM structure that is clearly different from the original language

Important detail:
This is not limited to text rendering. Even JS-based plugins stop working, which indicates a broken DOM or missing hooks.

The issue happens:

Only when using ATE

Only on Oxygen-built pages with complex structure

Regardless of template conditions or cache state

What I already tested (to avoid generic replies)

Single header/footer template only (no duplicates per language)

Inner Content correctly placed in the template

All Oxygen-related custom fields (ct_*) set to Copy

WPML cache reset (ghost entries, language information, etc.)

Oxygen CSS regenerated

No page-level template overrides

No cache / minify / CDN

Fresh duplicated pages

If I disable ATE and instead:

Duplicate the page

Edit the translated page manually in Oxygen

→ everything works perfectly (layout, CSS, JS, plugins).

This strongly suggests that ATE is interfering with Oxygen’s internal structure, not just with content translation.

Conclusion / request

At this point, I need a clear and official answer on one of the following:

Is Advanced Translation Editor officially compatible with Oxygen Builder for complex layouts (including JS-based elements)?

If yes, what exact configuration prevents ATE from altering Oxygen’s DOM and JS hooks?

If not, is the recommended approach to avoid ATE and use duplication/manual editing, even though this is not clearly stated in WPML documentation?

I am not looking for a workaround that “sometimes works”, but for a supported and stable solution.

If needed, I can provide:

Temporary access

Reproducible test page

Screenshots / HTML comparison (IT vs EN)

Thank you in advance for a concrete technical response.

Best regards,
Giuseppe
