This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needs to modify the Elementor design specifically for the Hebrew language version of their site, including moving text blocks, changing text sizes, and possibly colors, without affecting the English version.
Solution:
We recommend two approaches to address this issue:
1. Disable the WPML Translation Editor and use the default WordPress Editor or Elementor to edit the translated page. Here are the steps:
- Open the page in the default language in Edit mode.
- Enable the "WordPress Editor" from the Languages metabox.
- A popup will appear, prompting you to choose whether to apply this setting to just the current page or all pages. Select the option that best fits your needs.
- Click on the translation icon for the secondary language. This will open the page in the default WordPress Editor, where you can edit your translation as you did in the default language.
For more details, check this documentation on manual translation method: Using different translation editors for different pages.
2. Alternatively, you can try to change the position, color, or size using custom CSS by utilizing the :lang pseudo-class. For more information on how to use this, visit: W3Schools :lang selector.
If these solutions do not fully address your issue or if the situation has evolved, we highly recommend checking related known issues at WPML 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 do not hesitate to open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML Support Forum.

Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Sorry for the delay due to high workload and the reply time will be shorter from now. WPML’s Translation Editor is meant for translating content only, not for removing or restructuring it. The translated page will always reflect the structure/design of the original page. If you need to change specific elements only from translations, you have two options: 1. Disable the WPML Translation Editor and edit the translated page in default WP Editor/Elementor page builder by following the below steps: - Open that page in the default language as Edit mode. Here is a doc for manual translation method: 2. Or either try to change the position color/size using custom CSS by using :lang pseudo class: hidden link Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance with this issue. Thank you   |

I followed the below steps: 1. Edited the homepage in the default language. For now, I set Posts and Categories to “Translatable – use translation if available or fallback to default language” in WPML >> Settings, so the default-language posts will show until translations are added. Please check and let me know if everything looks good or if you need anything else. Thank you      |
