This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're using WPML with WordPress, Elementor, and the Elementor Pro Form widget, and you notice that when translating a form's dropdown field into Italian, the options appear incorrectly as a single string instead of separate lines, resulting in a broken dropdown.
Solution:
We are aware of this issue and it has been escalated to our developers. A fix is planned for a future release of WPML. You can track updates on this issue by visiting the errata page: Elementor Form Widget Select Field Breaks When Translated with CTE.
In the meantime, we recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). If you prefer not to use ATE, you can opt for a manual translation approach. For guidance on using different translation editors, please visit: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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 the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
