This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is unable to use the Advanced Editor to translate or provide alternate content for Elementor elements such as Shortcodes or HTML blocks. Specifically, there is no option to edit this content for French in the Advanced translation editor.
Solution:
1) To translate the shortcode, follow these steps:
- Add the following XML code to WPML-> Settings-> Custom XML tab:
<wpml-config><shortcodes><shortcode><tag>searchandfilter</tag><attributes><attribute>id</attribute></attributes></shortcode></shortcodes></wpml-config>
- Translate the strings in the search form by editing the page in the default language, making a minor edit, and updating it. After updating the translation, the search form will be translated.
2) For the HTML widget that uses scripts (which WPML does not support), the workaround is to edit the translated page using Elementor and manually change the code.
