This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: If you're experiencing an error on your Arabic site, it might be due to an incorrect translation of a specific string in the Elementor plugin. Solution: We recommend you try the following steps: 1. Navigate to WPML → String Translation. 2. Search for the string "All (%s)", "example%s" or some similar string that contains the placeholder. 3. Check the Arabic translation. Ensure that the placeholder %s is included exactly as in the original string. If it's missing or altered, it could be causing the error. 4. Update the translation to correctly include the %s placeholder.
This solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I translated the site using WPML. The English site works fine, but the Arabic site gives an error. When I use PHP 7.4, it works fine for both English and Arabic, but when I use PHP 8.2, the Arabic site breaks.
Symptoms:
The Arabic version of the site gives an error when using PHP 8.2.
Questions:
Why does the Arabic site break when using PHP 8.2?
How can I fix the error on the Arabic site when using PHP 8.2?
I need more details about the fatal error in order to suggest possible solutions.
As a first step, please enable debugging by adding the following lines to your site’s wp-config.php file. This will allow us to identify the exact issue:
Once enabled, any errors will be logged to a debug.log file located in the /wp-content/ directory. Please check this file and share the relevant error messages, so I can assist you further.
It appears that the issue may originate from the Elementor plugin, but it’s likely related to an incorrect translation of a specific string.
Please try the following steps to verify and correct the issue:
1. Go to WPML → String Translation.
2. Search for the string “All (%s)”.
3. Check the Arabic translation. If the placeholder %s is missing or altered, it may be triggering the error in the Elementor plugin.
4. Update the translation to ensure it includes the %s placeholder exactly as in the original string.
I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference. Let me know how it goes.
I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help.
