denisM-33	Hi, Proposed solution has already been done by developer of the theme and I checked configuration XML exists. I also tried manually inserting XML into WPML which also had no effect. We have here two issues: - Elementor widgets not translatable - Elementor custom widgets from theme not translatable Sadly site is run locally on and can not provide access to check out. But I am open to provide everything required to make your work easier. Environment that this runs is in docker with: WordPress + Caddy + MariaDB Plugins and themes used are all well known plugins and they specify that works with WPML.

denisM-33	Issue has been resolved by: Going to WPML -> Translation Manager then finding Header and send header for translation then going into translation and find newly created job and click translate. Then string apear. Must say as a customer pretty complex steps to translate things, not really user friendly.
