Hi,
I would like to be able to add `<b></b>` tags to my translations, while I don't have them in the original language. The site is built with Elementor.
My issue is, that if I edit the translated page in the secondary language using Elementor, I loose the translation editor added texts, so I can't add styles with Elementor.
Is there a way to add `b` or `i` tags in the Advanced translation editor?

Hello!
A translation implies that the content will change but the structure won't so by default you can't "add" new html tags to the translation.
However i may have a wrkaround for this.
Imagine you have this text:
this is a test text
You can turn it into:
this is a test text<b> </b>
this will actually put the html marker in the structure and will allow you to use it wherever you want in the translation, without actually using it in the original language.
tags to my content with elementor, saved the changes, and I saw the update icon for the translation on the dashboard. I clicked on it, opened the ATE, but there was no visible change, and the translation was set to 100%. Checking the string that I added the above tags to, there was no change either.
I then went back to elementor (default lang), and the </br> tag was removed, and the <b> tag was still there. So this doesn't seem to work for me. Could you please check whether it works for you?

you're right, it can't be added at the end of a sentence or it will be copied as-is. instead add it in the middle of a sentence like this:
this is html content<b> </b>with a bold tag in the middle of a sentence
Note the space inside the bold tag. it will not be visible in the front-end but it will be picked up as a space in the translation editor, making it work.
I did this and it worked, as you can see here: hidden link
