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

Problem:
You are trying to translate your WordPress and Elementor website pages using WPML, but while the menu changes language, the translated content does not display on the frontend.
Solution:
First, ensure that the String Translation plugin is active. You can do this by navigating to your WordPress Dashboard, then go to Plugins > Add New > Commercial (tab). Here, find the String Translation plugin, select it, and ensure it is activated by checking the Activate checkbox and then clicking the download button.
Next, go to the Homepage edit screen, make a minor change such as modifying the title, and ensure the translation is 100% complete. This step should resolve the issue of translations not appearing on the frontend.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my WordPress and Elementor website pages using WPML. I have checked that there are no compatibility errors and that all plugins and settings are up to date. The problem can be seen in the url hidden link when you click on the language switcher, the menu changes language but the content I have translated is not displayed.

Symptoms:
When I translate a page with the WPML translation tool, it is not applied on the frontend. The menu is translated, but the page content remains the same. When accessing the translation URL hidden link, I expected to see the translated contents, but I get the same text as in the original page without the translation.

Questions:
Why is the page content not translated in the frontend even though the menu is?
How can I make sure that the translations are correctly applied to the page content?

Hi,

The process of website copy has started. We will check the website after the copy is completed.

If I can manage to find the problem cause I will share it with you, if not, I will report this to the second-tier support.

It may take time and I appreciate your patience.

Thank you.

Hi,

I can't believe I missed this during the chat!

Please go to WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New > Commercial (tab)

Select the string Translation plugin and scroll down and select the Activate checkbox and then click the download button.

After that, go to the Homepage edit screen and change something, for example title and make sure the translation is 100% complete that will fix the issue.

I did the same sets on the copied website and it worked:

Thanks.
