This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing layout issues on your WordPress site using Divi and WPML, where the layout becomes weird on both the original and translated pages after making significant modifications, this might be due to a specific setting in Divi.
Solution:
We recommend trying to turn off the "Static CSS File Generation" option in your Divi Theme Options. You can find this under Builder > Advanced. This change has helped resolve similar issues for other clients and might work for you as well.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:

Symptoms:
The translated pages did not adjust after updating the website. The layout in both the original and translated pages becomes weird after significant modifications.

Questions:
Why do the translated pages not adjust after updates?
Is there a permanent solution to the layout issues between Divi and WPML?

Thanks for your reply.

I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

Thank you,

Hi Kor, my service provider has double checked, and the FTP works on his end.

Could you try again, and write directly to him if it still doesn't work?

His email : info@dwebtech.ca

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. It looks like turning off this option "Static CSS File Generation" in Divi Theme Options > Builder > Advanced seems to fix it. Could you check?
