This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with duplicated content in Elementor after using the 'duplicate content' mode in WPML and wish to switch to using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) for translations, follow these steps.
Solution:
1. Optionally, navigate to your content list (e.g., Pages), filter by the secondary language, send the duplicated content to the Trash, and permanently delete it.
2. Go to WPML -> Settings -> 'How to translate the content' section -> Select 'Advanced Translation Editor' -> Save the changes.
3. Edit the content you want to translate, ensure the 'Translation Editor' option is selected in the Languages block on the right column, and click the plus (+) icon to add the translation.
4. Alternatively, you can use WPML -> Translation Management to search for content to translate, select it, and send it for translation using the options at the bottom of the table.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket.
