Problem:
The client was having difficulty writing the correct XML code to register an Elementor widget ('be-timeline') for translation using WPML, despite following the documentation.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Insert the following XML in the WPML >> Settings > Custom XML Configuration section:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="be-timeline">
      <fields-in-item items_of="list">
        <field>list_title</field>
        <field>list_content</field>
      </fields-in-item>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

2. To allow the translation of numbers in the timeline title field using WPML Translation Editor, add the following code to the functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wpml_tm_job_field_is_translatable', '__return_true' );

For more details, refer to the documentation on translating custom shortcodes with WPML.
3. Make a small change in the default language page to reload the translation and attempt translating it again.
