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

Problem:
You are making style changes on the homepage, such as adjusting margins, but these changes are not being applied to the translation, causing them not to synchronize.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps:
1. Edit the page using Elementor Pro and save your changes.
2. Once saved, return to the WordPress editor. You should see the translation icon change to a circular arrow, indicating that an update is needed. If you still see the pencil icon, try making a small change to the title of the original page, save it, then revert the change. This should trigger the update.
3. Open the WPML Translation Editor.
4. Complete the translation.
These steps should help trigger the synchronization process between the original and translated content.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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 at WPML support forum.

I'm also making a few style changes in the home page: adjusting some margins. The changes are not being applied to the translation. Why are they not synchronized?

Can you show me on the screenshots how you are making these changes?

Yes. I'm edditing the page with Elementor PRO. I can see the changes in the Spanish (original) version. But I don't see them applied in the Euskera (translated) version

Thank you for your feedback.

Have you updated the page translation after making changes?

Please follow these steps:
1. Edit the page using Elementor Pro and save your changes.
2. Once saved, go back to the WordPress editor. You should see the translation icon change to a circular arrow, indicating that an update is needed.
• If you still see the pencil icon, try making a small change to the title of the original page, save it, then revert the change. This should trigger the update.
3. Open the WPML Translation Editor.
4. Complete the translation.

These steps should help trigger the synchronization process between the original and translated content.

I just updated the translation. Now the whole design is ruined:
