This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was unable to translate a button labeled 'Rezervuoti' and change its link for the English version. Additionally, the client needed assistance with translating the footer into English.
Solution:
For the button issue, we duplicated the header element and named it 'Header Main'. We then manually translated it using the manual translation method provided by WPML. You can find detailed instructions on manual translation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/. This resolved the issue with the button text and link in the English version.

For the footer, we duplicated it using the 'Overwrite with Lithuanian content' option to create an English version. We then set it to 'Translate independently' allowing both versions to be edited separately. This setup is a one-time process and has been completed. Changes to the footer must be done manually in Elementor for each language, as the theme does not support the Advanced Translation Editor for header/footer templates.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello,

I fixed the issue by copying the HF element and call it Headeder Main.

After that I translated it manually using manual translation:

And now the button text and link are showing correctly in En version:

Ok thanks. Please check this video:

Video Summary:

- I duplicated the footer by using “Overwrite with Lithuanian content” to copy it into English.
- Then I clicked “Translate independently” so both versions can be edited separately.
- This setup only needs to be done once. Which I did and you do not need to do it again.
- After that, edit the Lithuanian footer in Lithuanian and the English footer via the pencil icon.
- Changes must be done manually in Elementor for each language.
- This is required because the theme does not support Advanced Translation Editor for header/footer templates.
- Now both language versions work independently and display correctly.

Thanks.
