Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate pages manually using the Divi editor on a site under development. I want to switch languages using a flag but prefer to manually edit each page without using the WPML interface.
Symptoms:
The pencil icon for manual translation is missing.
Questions:
How can I manually translate pages using the Divi editor without using the WPML interface?
Why is the pencil icon for manual translation missing?
Thank you for contacting WPML Support. If you prefer to use manual translation, please try to follow the below steps and let me know how it goes:
1. Please make sure the Pages post type is set as “Translatable” from WPML >> Settings > Post Types Translation section as you can see in the attached screenshot.
2. Please open the default language page in Edit mode.
3. Enable the “WordPress Editor” from the “Language” metabox as you can see in the attached screenshot.
