Split: Some WP Bakery Blocks are not translating.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Some WP Bakery blocks are not translating correctly on a multilingual site. The blocks display French content on an English page, and the content does not appear in the translation editor.
Solution:
First, ensure that the WP Bakery builder is enabled for posts. Then, add the following XML configuration to the WPML-> Settings-> Custom XML tab:

<wpml-config><shortcodes><shortcode><tag>vc_message</tag></shortcode><shortcode><tag>vc_text_separator</tag><attributes><attribute>title</attribute></attributes></shortcode><shortcode><tag>vc_tta_accordion</tag><attributes><attribute>title</attribute></attributes></shortcode></shortcodes></wpml-config>

After adding this XML, update the page and its translation. This should make the module content appear in the translation editor. Next, register the untranslated modules and update the post in the default language along with its translation.
For further guidance on identifying attributes and tags in shortcodes, please refer to this video and check this guide.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

yuanL-2	Some WP Bakery blocks are not translating, For example on this page, hidden link you can see the blocks having the French content while page language is English. The content from these blocks also does not appear in translation editor. Site default language is French. Note: In the parent ticket, a CW test site was prepared which can be used to investigate the problem.

I'll be glad to help you today. 1) The post in the dashboard doesn't show the WP Bakery editor, so please check that and let me know if you can see it correctly. 2) The problematic modules might need to be registered for translation. Kindly check the following guides: 1- https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/translate-custom-shortcodes-with-wpml/ 2- https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/register-page-builder-content-for-translation/ Best regards, Osama
