Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to assist you in resolving the issue.

When using custom Elementor widgets, it is important to follow the steps outlined in the documentation below to translate them.

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/

Please try the suggested workaround after taking a full site backup, and let us know your feedback.

Also, after adding the required language configuration in WPML >> Settings >> Custom XML Configuration, make sure to update the post/page in the original language by making a minor change to the content. This step helps refresh the translation settings.

If the issue persists, please share a couple of screenshots to help us better understand the problem.
