[Resolved] Split: The Elementor page is now aligned to the right and lacks balance
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
After translating the content, the Elementor page is now aligned to the right and lacks balance (as I mentioned earlier). Is there something I need to activate to resolve this issue? Solution:
The client reported how he solved the issue:
I’ve identified and resolved the alignment issue with the Arabic page. The problem was that the page designed with Elementor, when translated to Arabic, doesn’t automatically apply the same settings as the English page by default. I manually adjusted the settings for the Arabic page, and the issue was resolved. Here are the changes I made:
In the English page, the sidebar was set to "none," but the Arabic page had a sidebar enabled. When I removed the sidebar from the Arabic page, the alignment issue was fixed.
Additionally, the header in the Arabic page was not set correctly. I selected the custom header from the main page (English version), and that resolved the header issue as well.

The issue with translations not working was resolved by using the "Remove ghost entries from the translation tables" option. I hope this issue is fully resolved now and doesn’t happen again, because the first time this happened, the translation was completed successfully, and the translated page loaded perfectly without any issues. But after a few minutes, these problems occurred—the fatal error appeared, and translations stopped working. However, after translating and working on the pages this time, the fatal error returned again. I followed your previous advice and searched for the string "New %s" in WPML > String Translation to check the translations, but they seemed fine. I suspect another string might be causing this issue now, but I’m not sure how to find it. Could you please guide me on how to identify the problematic string?

I’m also attaching the debug log for your reference:

About the Arabic page not being aligned to the center issue.
Such problems can occur if you edit the translated page using the Elementor editor instead of the Advanced Translation Editor (the editor you initially translated the page with).
Could this be the case?
Is it possible that you edited the Arabic page by mistake using the Elementor editor?
Hi,
No, I didn’t edit the Arabic page at all. The main English page was entirely built with Elementor, and one or two other pages that were also created with Elementor are experiencing the same issue. Additionally, on the first day when we purchased and activated the plugin, after the translation was completed and before any issues occurred, the page’s appearance had no problems and was well-aligned.
I’ve identified and resolved the alignment issue with the Arabic page. The problem was that the page designed with Elementor, when translated to Arabic, doesn’t automatically apply the same settings as the English page by default. I manually adjusted the settings for the Arabic page, and the issue was resolved. Here are the changes I made:

Additionally, the header in the Arabic page was not set correctly. I selected the custom header from the main page (English version), and that resolved the header issue as well.
I wanted to share this in case it helps with future troubleshooting. However, it would be great if WPML could automatically apply the same page settings (like sidebar and header) to the translated pages to avoid such issues.
I also want to thank you, Itamar, for your continuous support and assistance with the other issues throughout this process. I really appreciate your help!
