[Resolved] Elementor translated in back-end but translation not visible in front-end

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

Problem:
The client reported that after using WPML's auto-translate feature with Elementor, translations were visible in the back-end but not on the front-end. Specifically, some paragraphs appeared translated while others did not, and headers remained untranslated.
Solution:
We reviewed the pages and confirmed that the translations for English and German were displaying correctly on both the front-end and back-end. It appears that the issue may have resolved itself or was fixed by the client before our verification. If you're experiencing similar issues where translations are not appearing as expected on the front-end, we recommend:
1. Clearing your browser and site cache.
2. Ensuring that the WPML and Elementor plugins are up to date.
3. Re-saving the Elementor pages in question.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be due to a configuration that is no longer relevant or applicable to your current setup. 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.

If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I automatically translated all my pages using WPML and I can see that different parts of the website have been translated. I used the documentation from the website and auto translate settings.

Symptoms:
Elementor translated in back-end but translation not visible in front-end. In some cases only paragraphs are translated. Pages where this happens:
hidden link (should be English, fully Dutch)
hidden link (German body paragraphs in some cases, but headers are all in Dutch)

Questions:
Why is the translation not visible on the front-end?
Why are only some paragraphs visible and translated on front-end even though on the back-end it's not?

Hi there,

Are you still experienving this issue?

when I review the pages shared with us I can verify that

1. EN page is only showing me EN content

2. DE page is showing me only DE content -- I also tested the titles and they look German.

for example: Wie kannst du die flämischen OnlyFans-Mädchen unterstützen?
