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

Problem:
You are trying to set the default language of the Bricks Builder editor to English while using WPML, but despite setting the profile language to English and selecting only English in Bricks, as well as deleting all language files from the themes directory, the editor still appears in Greek.
Solution:
The issue arises because the strings are being translated via String Translation. To resolve this, you need to manually remove the translations through the String Translation interface. This process can be time-consuming, but it is the only proper and safe way to ensure that the Bricks Builder editor remains in English. You can access the String Translation interface here: String Translation interface.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to set the default language of the Bricks Builder editor to English only while using WPML on my site hidden link. I have already changed the profile language to English and selected only English in Bricks. I also deleted all language files from 'public_html/wp-content/themes/bricks/languages'.

Symptoms:
The language of the Bricks Builder editor is still appearing in Greek despite my attempts to set it to English.

Questions:
Is there any solution to keep the Bricks Builder editor language always in English?
Why does the editor language change to Greek even after setting it to English?

Thanks for contacting us. Deleting all language files from 'public_html/wp-content/themes/bricks/languages' should do the trick. But since it's not working, 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.

Thanks for your reply. It appears the strings are being translated via String Translation, as seen here: hidden link

The only proper and safe way to remove them is manually through the String Translation interface. I understand this might take some time, and I hope you’ll reconsider proceeding with it.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's correct. I'd suggest removing a few words and check the editor to see if it works.
