Problem: The client is using WPML with Elementor Pro on a WordPress site and needs to synchronize an updated Elementor structure from the original language (PT-PT) to all existing translations in six languages, without losing the translated text content. The client has 92 locations (custom post type) already translated into six languages. The 'Duplicate' option is not viable as the translated pages already exist, and the Advanced Translation Editor only syncs text strings, not the Elementor container structure. Solution: Initially, the WPML support team suggested that the layout/structure synchronization from the default language should work automatically while the translated texts are handled via the Advanced Translation Editor. However, the client decided to switch to the Classic version of WPML, which resolved the issue. The client is now manually checking each location page to ensure everything is properly set up.
