Problem: You are trying to add/update and save translations in WPML after importing pages using WP Import. Initially, this method worked, but on subsequent attempts, you encounter issues where the updated content does not appear in translations, and the 'Add translation' option reappears instead of updating the existing translation. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address this issue: 1. Go to WPML > Export & Import, choose to export content from your site, and select WP Export as the method. 2. Export your posts, ensuring the export includes both original posts and their translations. 3. Import the same file without deleting any posts or changing post IDs and slugs. 4. Avoid running the final migration step at WPML > Export & Import after re-importing.
Please try these steps and see if the issue persists. This was kind of an edge case that was not replicable on a new WordPress install.

Problem: You are working on a Russian translation for a website using WPML and have encountered an issue where all string translations for Divi footer widgets do not work, except for one. You have tried translating strings that you previously added from "Translate texts in admin screens" but most translations are not effective. Solution: We recommend using the method of "Creating Widgets in Each Language" to ensure all your footer widget strings are translated effectively. This approach involves setting up separate widgets for each language. You can find detailed instructions on how to implement this method on our documentation page: Translating Widgets.
