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

Problem:
You are working on a site and facing issues with text alignment and word count differences between English and Arabic languages. In English, some words split into two words or lines, while in Arabic, they are considered one word, making line merging challenging.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps:
1. Open the default language page in Edit mode where you are experiencing this issue.
2. Make a small change, such as adding a space or a '+' sign in your page/post title.
3. Update the page by pressing the “Update” button.
4. Remove the small change you made in step 2.
5. Update the page again.
6. Open the translated page in the WPML Translation Editor, ensure the translation is added correctly, make any necessary adjustments, and confirm it is 100% complete. Finally, press the “Complete Translation” button and check if this resolves the issue.

If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not suitable for your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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.
