Translate Elementor Header

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

Problem:
You are trying to set different font sizes for the header in the default language and the second language on your site, but two versions of the style files are being loaded on the front end, causing the styles to be incorrect.
Solution:
We recommend adding custom CSS to target the specific elements for each language. For example, you can add the following CSS code to your site:

span.aux-menu-label {<br />    font-size: 15px;<br />}

This code should be added to the custom CSS section of your site, which can typically be accessed via the WordPress admin panel under Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

yenyiC	Hi, the font size of the menu text in the English version doesn't seem to have been changed to 15px.

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	I added: span.aux-menu-label { font-size: 15px; } to hidden link, as it seems like there is some custom identifier here. Is this how it should look like?

yenyiC	Yes, the font has been successfully modified, but my question is whether it is normal for the English version to also load the CSS file for the Chinese version? Please check my screenshot: post-84 is the file for the Chinese header. post-2697 is the file for the English header.

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	It is not unusual for multiple CSS files to be loaded on the same page if different languages or versions of the page share common elements or if the CSS is set up to serve styles for multiple languages, especially on sites where language switching is enabled. In your case: - post-84.css seems to target the Chinese version of the header. - post-2697.css seems to target the English version of the header. If both versions are loaded simultaneously, it's likely that the site uses a global CSS or a combination of language-specific CSS that may cause both files to load, even though they target different versions of the header.

yenyiC	I found out that the issue was caused by my theme. Thank you for your patient support.
