victorN-3	Background of the issue: I am trying to keep the Elementor interface in English UK, but it is slowly being translated into Dutch. I have followed the instructions from this article: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/elementor-editor-interface-with-wpml/, but it did not help. Symptoms: The Elementor interface is being translated into Dutch, even though the admin language is set to English UK. Questions: How can I prevent the Elementor interface from being translated into Dutch? Why is the Elementor interface changing language despite the admin language setting?

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi, This behavior is expected since Elementor is a front-end editor and follows the language of the page rather than the admin (user) language. If this is a blocker for you, we recommend translating Elementor content using the WPML Advanced Translation Editor: WPML Advanced Translation Editor Documentation The workaround mentioned in your linked ticket is quite outdated, and WordPress has undergone several changes since then (e.g., converting translations to PHP files). As a result, I cannot confirm whether it still works as of mid-2024. Have you tried following those exact steps? At this time, there is no alternative solution or workaround, as this behavior is expected. Best regards, Marcel
