You are working with Bricks and WPML on your website and want to make configuration changes in the default language without triggering the need to update translations in other language variants.

We recommend using the native WordPress editor to manage your translations more effectively. Here\'s how you can do it: 1. Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard. 2. Go to Pages and enter the edit screen of the page. 3. On the right sidebar, look for a checkbox that allows you to prevent triggering updates to the translations when you make changes. Unfortunately, this option is not available directly from the Bricks interface. If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the <a href=\'https://wpml.org/known-issues/\'>related known issues</a> and verifying the version of the permanent fix. Also, confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still face issues, please <a href=\'https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/\'>open a new support ticket</a>.

melanieG-15	Background of the issue: I am working on a website that combines Bricks and WPML. I want to make small configuration changes to the page in Bricks without triggering the need to update translations in other language variants. Symptoms: When I save changes in the default language (EN), the changes do not propagate to other language variants (FIGS) until I re-translate them by loading the page into ATE and clicking 'Save'. Questions: How can I make configuration changes in Bricks without needing to re-translate pages in WPML?

Please go to WP Dashboard > Pages and enter the edit screen of the page in the normal WordPress editor. At the right sidebar, you will see a checkbox to prevent triggering the need to update the translation. But there is no such an option from the Bricks interface. Thanks.
