Hi there.

Please go to your site's backend > Pages > and then switch to the other language from the top black bar > and then on the translated page, hover your mouse over and select "Edit with Elementor.

Then, you should be able to use Elementor to edit that page and that way, you can use the visual builder to remove what you want from the translated version.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

I see! I thought editing the translated page directly was bad practice but ok, now I know!
