This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client was trying to translate a homepage but found that only the page title was showing in the translation. The content was mostly displayed from listings and categories, which had not been translated. Additionally, the client was using a custom Elementor widget from the Listeo theme and was unsure how to enable translation for it.
Solution:
1. We recommended registering the custom Elementor widget for translation using the WPML Compatibility Test Tools plugin. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-compatibility-test-tools-plugin/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/
2. To display listings in both languages without translating them, we advised enabling the 'Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language' option. This allows listings to be shown in all languages, displaying the content from the primary language if no translation is available.
3. If automatic translations are not desired, the client can turn off this feature. With the 'Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language' option selected, translated pages will still display listings from the primary language.
