Problem: The client is using WPML with Elementor on their multilingual website and wants to replace HTML blocks for different languages on their contact page, rather than translating them. They are unable to find the option to duplicate the page for different languages in Elementor and are concerned about the compatibility of their Elementor-designed pages with WPML's Translation Editor. Solution: We recommend using the manual translation method for the specific page where the HTML blocks need to be replaced. This involves using the WordPress Native Editor to manage translations directly, which allows for different content and designs per language. Here are the steps: 1. Enable manual translation for the specific page by following the instructions here: Using different translation editors for different pages. 2. Watch the video tutorial here: Video tutorial on manual translation with Elementor, which explains how to create and manage separate pages for each language using Elementor and the WordPress native editor.
