I am creating a Hebrew version of my site stirlingaustin.com and have a couple of questions.
On the Hebrew version of the repertoire page, hidden link I want the page content to appear in the same order as the English version, eg swing on the left and soul, etc on the right.
How can this be done? (if I do it manually on the Hebrew elementor editor it reverts when updating translations.)
Also, I want to have the English blog page and posts visible in the Hebrew menu and version, with both the archive page and posts remaining in English(eg duplicated, not translated). I have tried creating a hebrew version of the archive page, but the excerpts show rtl instead of ltr, like wise the english text reverses on the post. Is there a way to have the archive page and posts appear exactly as per the English version within the hebrew menu?
Let's first have an initial explanation so we are on the same page.
WPML does not have anything to do with the RTL or LTR design, and it is all the theme.
The only styling that WOPML adds is for the language switcher.
Having said that Hebrew is an RTL language and your theme detects it, as WPML adds an HTML attribute announcing that this page is Hebrew.
The rest is your theme (or the page builder you use).
Now, if you want to selectively change the direction of a page you have two choices:
Use manual translation
You can select to have a manual translation for a specific page in WPML and then you will have access to Elementor without the fear of the translated page being overwritten after an update.
That means you will lose the ability to use the Advanced Translation Editor for that page as manual translation and ATE are separate tools and can not be used at the same time on a page.
Here is more information about the manual translation:
