Overview of the issue

You might encounter an issue that the strings from posts created by Elementor page builder are registered once more time in the “Widgets” textdomain while you visit WPML > String Translation page.

It is advisable that you should not translate those strings as you might end-up with two different values.

        add_filter( 'widget_text', 'icl_sw_filters_widget_text', 0 );
