This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I have translated a few sites with wpml + elementor or divi page builder even if I have never fully understood the logic of wpml for product translation. with the pages if I click as shown in the images w1 and w2 I create the English version, copy the contents from Italian, translate separately and then activate the page builder. why can't i do the same with products? if I go to a multilingual woocommerce> woocomemrce the menu appears as shown in the image and if I click on the translation, that damned translation editor appears that I hate with all my strength working almost exclusively with page builders. if I go directly to the woocommerce products and try to do as with the pages or if I enter a product, I click + for the English translation> overwrite contents with those in Italian> I translate separately and except this happens sometimes and I don't understand why : that symbol of the gear appears that makes me open the hated translation editor while for other products I managed to do as with the pages. same thing from the translation editor. I don't understand how to get rid of the gear that opens the translation editor in place of the product sheet with the wordpress editor.
Solution:
Upon further inspection, we were able to conclude that this behavior is expected. When not using CTE or ATE you don’t need to translate the products from WC -> WCML. I have tested on a clean install, and it happened just like on your website: https://orange-berimbau.sandbox.otgs.work/product/hoodie-with-logo/
In my next reply (that will be private), I'll provide you with the automatic login link for this Sandbox installation if you want to check it yourself. Basically, we translated the product manually, but when we went to WC -> WCML and tried to open it, the Translation Editor was opened (even though it is disabled for all website content).
So, since you're not going to use the Translation Editors on your website, you shouldn't translate the products on the WCML interface. As I said to you in the chat, the product can be translated through the Edit screen of its original.
