This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is trying to translate the CartFlows plugin using WPML, including URLs, checkout pages, and fields, but faces issues with Elementor not loading and certain elements not translating correctly. Solution: 1. Create a CartFlow in the Original Language: Build your CartFlow as usual in the default language. 2. Set Post Types as Translatable: Go to WPML > Settings > Post Types and set cartflows_step and cartflows_flow to translatable. 3. Duplicate the CartFlow for Translation: Use WPML's duplicate feature to create a copy in the secondary language. More details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/ 4. Translate Independently: Edit the duplicated CartFlow using the WordPress Standard Editor. In the Language box, click Translate independently. More details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ 5. Clone Each Step: Use CartFlows' "Clone Step" feature for each step in the flow. Instructions here: https://cartflows.com/docs/clone-flow-step-in-cartflows/ 6. Delete Original Steps and Save Translations: Save the translated texts locally, delete the original steps, and then copy the translated texts back into the appropriate fields. 7. Edit and Update Steps: Update titles and links for each step, then save the changes.
If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please visit our support forum: WPML Support Forum
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Use CartFlows’ "Clone Step" feature for each step in the flow. Instructions can be found here: hidden link
Delete Original Steps and Save Translations
Save the translated texts locally (e.g., in a notes app), as you'll need to delete the original steps. Once deleted, copy the translated texts back into the appropriate fields.
Edit and Update Steps
Edit the cloned steps to update titles and links to the next step in the flow, then save the changes.
Lastly, I’d recommend reaching out to the CartFlows authors and encouraging them to join WPML’s Go Global program for full compatibility. You can find more details about the program here: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.
I have followed the steps successfully until here -
Translate Independently
Edit the duplicated CartFlow using the WordPress Standard Editor. In the Language box, click Translate independently to unsync the secondary language page.
I have done that, however now when I attempt to edit the page with the elementor editor, the editor doesn't want to load

Hello,
I would like to ask for temporary access to your test site’s wp-admin and FTP to investigate the issue further.
Please let me know which cartflow post should I focus on if there are multiple.
If necessary, I may need to install File Manager plugin to access to your files too.
It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Hi,
I see what you mean, and it doesn't seem the original content can be edited either : hidden link
The form is getting loaded dynamically from your cartflow settings. I'm not honestly familiar with how this plugin work, and when I edit the spanish cartflow, I see it translated : hidden link
Am I checking the right post? could you guide me on how you usually edit a cartflow? I cannot find any flows set here : hidden link

Hello,
Sorry for the delay in response, we were experiencing a high ammount of requests because of upcoming holidays,
1- The number 7188 is the ID number of the template in the original language, when you edit the cartflow, you will see that ID at the top in the URL.
So I went to WPML > String translation > Translate Admin Texts (at the bottom of the String translation : hidden link)
Then search for the ID there, and add it to string translation, then translate it to match the ID of the Translation cartflow ID
2- These strings that aren't translated should've been loaded correctly from the plugin's .mo files (these contain translations of strings coming from the plugin)
I need to debug this further to understand the cause
3- I thought I did translate the pay now button for you, I will check it too

Timezone: Pacific/Easter (GMT-06:00)
The translations cannot be access as both sites ES and COM are getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error.
This usually means the site domain does not exist or there is a DNS configuration issue on your hosting account
Here is an example from Kinsta for example : hidden link
I couldn't finish working on your site because of this, could you please check what might the issue be?
Best,
