Problem:
Can the Elementor Header & Footer Builder Plugin be translated using the WPML Multilingual Blog option?
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend setting the post types for Headers and Footers to "Translatable - only show translated content" in WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation. This will make the templates translatable with the WPML Translation Editor. However, to use this feature effectively, the String Translation plugin is necessary, which is included in the WPML Multilingual CMS package. You can upgrade your subscription and only pay the difference for your current billing cycle. For more details on pricing, visit WPML Pricing.
If upgrading is not an option, you might try translating the templates manually. For guidance on using different translation editors, see this guide.
If these solutions do not resolve your issue or seem outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest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. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if needed.

Hello,

This plugin is not in our list of tested plugins, but it should work with WPML, as I have seen it working in the past:
https://wpml.org/plugin/?wpv_view_count=120064&wpv_post_search=Elementor&wpv_filter_submit=Search

In order to translate this plugin, you need to go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set the post type(s) for Header and Footers to "Translatable - only show translated content".

Then the templates will be translatable with the WPML Translation Editor.

Now, even for translating Elementor with the recommended workflow (WPML Translation Editor) the plugin String Translation is required, I would suggest you upgrade your subscription to WPML Multilingual CMS.

Take note, that you will only get charged the difference between Multilingual Blog and Multilingual CMS for your current yearly billing circle.

WPML Pricing:

If you do not wish to upgrade, then please try to translate the templates manually. I never tested this workflow but if you run into issues let me know and I will offer to have a look at the site.
