I removed a button on Elementor from the original version(English version)
but the same button is still available on the Spanish version, how can I sync the changes I'm doing in the original version so that it will be applied to all language versions we have?

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

When you update the content of an original page, WPML will indicate that the translation needs to be updated so it can apply the same changes to other languages.

Please go to Pages > All Pages, then click the circular arrows icon of the translation (Which means that the translation needs to be updated) and complete the translation.

This should apply the same changes to the translated page.

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

got it! so it can't happen automatically? if I removed the button via Elementor page builder on the original version, that it will affect also on all other languages?

If no, then there is a way I can get a notification to update the other languages pages? or at least a way to filter all those pages/posts updates needed?

Hi,

The translations will be updated automatically only if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/#translate-everything-automatically).

This option translates all your content for you as soon as you publish it. When you edit your content, WPML automatically updates the translations.

If you're using the "Translate What You Choose" mode which allows you to translate the content yourself, you'll need to update the translations once you make a change to the original page.

You won't get a notification when an original page/post is updated, but you can filter the translations with the "Needs to be updated" status from WPML > Translations. Please check this recording: hidden link
