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

Problem:
The client was facing an issue where the header and footer created with Elementor and Ultimate Addons for Elementor were not displaying for non-default languages, despite having completed translations for these elements.
Solution:
We identified that the "Display Rules" were missing on the translated templates. To resolve this, we:
1. Navigated to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields translation.
2. Set the following fields to "Copy":

ehf_target_include_locations

ehf_target_exclude_locations

ehf_target_user_roles

ehf_template_type

display-on-canvas-template

3. Updated the translations for the templates, which resolved the issue.
For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on Translating Custom Fields.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We 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. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Hello,

It seems the minimum server requirements are not being met:
https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/

Could you please increase the WordPress memory limit (WP Memory Limit) to at least 256 MB? WPML requires at least 128 MB.

Your current values ​​are:
PHP Memory Limit 2G
WP Memory Limit 40M

To do this, you need to connect to your website's server and open the wp-config.php file in a text editor. The file is located in the WordPress root directory.

Add this code to the wp-config.php file to increase WordPress's memory:

define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add this just before this comment:

// That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

The current values ​​can be viewed under WPML > Support > WordPress.

These settings can be restricted directly by your hosting provider. Therefore, I recommend contacting them and asking them to change them directly if the changes are not applied automatically.

If adjusting the limit does not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards,
Andreas

The "Display Rules" are missing on the translated templates.

At WPML > Settings > Custom Fields translation, I have set the following fields to "Copy":

ehf_target_include_locations
ehf_target_exclude_locations
ehf_target_user_roles
ehf_template_type
display-on-canvas-template

Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/

After that I updated the translations for the templates. This seems ot have solved the issue. Let me know if you need further assistance.
