Problem: The client is unable to edit translated pages with Elementor without receiving a warning that changes will be lost. This issue started occurring recently, even though the client followed WPML documentation for translating Elementor pages. Solution: We advised the client to check the translation method set for their content. If it's set to "WPML Translation Editor", we recommended switching to the "WordPress Editor" to allow for different layouts and designs in different languages without the changes being overwritten by the WPML Translation Editor. This can be done by opening an original page in the WordPress Editor, checking the right sidebar under the section languages, and switching the translation method. If issues persist, toggling between "WPML Translation Editor" and "WordPress Editor" might help.
Regarding the issue with blog posts appearing as translated when they are not, it's likely due to the WPML setting for 'Post Type Translation' being set to 'Fallback'. We recommended changing this setting to 'Translatable – only show translated items' to prevent untranslated posts from appearing in other languages. More details can be found here: Displaying Untranslated Content on Pages in Secondary Languages.
