Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. If you would like to use the Elementor editor with the translated page, too, then you would need to create the translation differently from the very beginning. You will need to first duplicate the page that you want to translate into the other language. After you duplicate it, please go to the top are of the WordPress backend, switch the language to the one that you duplicated the page into, then go to Pages, then you will see the duplicated page. Click "Edit with Elementor" and now you can overwrite the duplicated content with the translation. Related documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/ Please let me know how that goes. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Sure. 1. Please create a full website backup first and then update everything here to the latest version: hidden link 2. After that, please let me know if you have an existing page that you want me to use for the example or if you want me to create one for you. Mihai

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Of course. Keeping plugins, themes and the WordPress version up to date is only for your benefit as they can keep your website secure from open gates that hackers can use to add malware to your website, but the decision is yours as it is your website 🙂 You can find the 2 videos here: - Duplicate the page you mentioned (Il team): hidden link - Duplicate the post you mentioned (Cosa e successo): hidden link I wish you a lovely rest of the day.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. As I mentioned here earlier (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/easy-way-for-translate-in-right-way/#post-9784269), the only way to use the Elementor as an editor for the translated page (as you requested) is to duplicate the content first into the other language (as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/) and then overwrite the duplicated content with your translated content manually. This means that now, that we duplicated that page, you need to go here (hidden link) and overwrite the content. The reason why not all the images are taken into consideration is probably that you are using a super old version of Elementor Pro. If you can update that to the latest version shown here (hidden link), I can definitely spend more time investigating this, if the issue will still take place (I doubt it will though). But from my understanding, you don't want to update anything else so if that's the case, no worries, just go here (hidden link) and re-add the images that are missing. I will be out of my shift now and I am getting back on Monday if you will still have questions about this. I wish you a lovely rest of the weekend. PS: Don't worry, the videos are not going anywhere for the next 2 weeks. Mihai
