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

Problem:
The client was experiencing layout issues on their multilingual WordPress site, where the English version of pages did not match the design of the Albanian version. Additionally, the client was unsure how to translate the footer, header, and use the Slider Revolution plugin in multiple languages.
Solution:
We identified that the layout discrepancy was due to some custom fields being set as non-translatable. We adjusted the settings to make these fields translatable by following the steps in our guide on Translating Custom Fields. For the issues related to translating widgets and using Slider Revolution, we provided documentation links and advised the client to open separate support tickets for each issue to ensure detailed assistance. The relevant guides can be found here:

If the provided solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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. Should further assistance be needed, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.

I still have a problem because I did the WordPress Editor translate, overwrite and then translate independently and the English version is not in the same design as the Albanian one. Can you please help me?

Hi again,

Please:
1.- Share the URL of the page where the layout problem appears
2.- Share the access credentials to the site. I have set your next answer private.

I will take a look at the page and check what is causing the different layouts. Although I suspect this might be related to missing custom fields 🙂

Looking forward to your message.

Thank you for your message.

The problem was that some custom fields were set to be non-translatable. I adjusted the configuration by following the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/ then updated the translation, and now the page is shown correctly.

Hi,

I kindly ask you to open a new ticket for each problem, one for the footer and another one for the Slider Revolution. That way, we can keep following our support policy of solving one issue per ticket.

Before opening any new tickets, please read these guides that explain how to correctly translate a widget and Slider Revolution:
- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/
- https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/creating-multilingual-sliders-with-revolution-slider-and-wpml/

Thank you very much for your understanding!

Note: If you open new tickets you can ask directly for me and I will be more than happy to continue helping you 🙂

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "I tried it with "Wrap" and still wrong"?

I described exactly the steps to follow in the video and shared the documentation related to it. There is the solution, you don't need us to apply it 🙂
