Problem: You have been using WPML to manage multilingual sites and have encountered an issue where duplicated template files (headers/footers) are not managed independently with the new block editor. When you edit the default language, all translations are overwritten with the default language. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Create a template in the default language. 2. Navigate to WPML-> Translation Management. 3. Send this template to translation. 4. Translate the template using the translation editor. 5. Return to WPML-> Translation Management. 6. Filter by the secondary language. 7. Hover on the translated template name and click edit.
This workflow should help you manage duplicated templates independently. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if the problem persists. You can do so at WPML support forum.
