Here is the ticket. Please try to use staging plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/ to clone the site. Or reach out to your hosting provider and ask them to clone the site for you.
We have another issue, some blocks look correct on the frontend, but look empty on the "edit page" view - 1-minute video here where I explain, could you please advise about this, too? hidden link

Thanks for your reply. I've checked this post in my local dev site hidden link and the section "Dieser Bauunternehmer hat seine Asphaltaufbereitung grundlegend geändert" is showing the correct language as shown in the attached screenshot.
Could this be some cache related issue? Also, it is showing correctly on your Website too.
It is showing correctly because I had manually updated it between recording the video and sending you the duplicate of the website. I tried to look for a different example, one that wasn't fixed then.
Go to the German products page, either /de/products or /de/produkte
You will see a string left in English "Our products are developed based on customer needs and there are over 100 applications where they can be used."
You can use this for investigating the root cause of the issue.
Thanks for your patience. I apologize for the long delay. I'm working on your other ticket. For this ticket, I've checked the page you mentioned, and the translation is also fine there, as shown in the attached screenshot.
Do you have any other examples that I could check?
Here the request form heading "Request a free consultation" is left in English

The part "The DL-Series is ideal for topsoil screening...", "Handle biomass and composting...", and "Get to know our other Screening Bucket products..." are in English
hidden link
"Selected ALLU D-Series models are available..." and "Get to know our other Screening Bucket products..." are left in English
Thanks for your reply. I'm still checking on this locally and will come back to you. Also, as for your other ticket, I'm waiting for your response regarding the staging site request on your server.
