devronH	I have three issues. 1. I have one specific field ("Related Products", see image attachment) on my Elementor Single Product Template that is not showing my translations. I double-checked the translation, and it shows correctly on the backend, but it's still pulling the English version of the content. I updated the WPML plugins because I thought that may have been my issue. After updating, I am running into a new problem. 2. When I try to add a translation job from the translation dashboard for the Elementor Template I mentioned, I am getting an error message. I've included a Screenshot of the pop-up. 3. In my translation queue, I have multiple translations showing as "needs translation" and "In-Progress". When I click those jobs, it takes me to the translation page, and much of what I translated shows as the original English content (Screenshot). However, on the front end and in WP All Import CSVs, it shows the correct translated content. Please let me know what you need from me, and if there is anything I need to clarify. Thank you.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. 1. How was the “Related Products” text added? Please share a few screenshots showing where and how this text is defined. Is it coming from an Elementor widget, or is it a string provided by your theme? 2. Content not appearing in the Translation Editor This usually happens when content is stored in an encoded format (commonly base64), which prevents WPML’s translation editor from processing it. This is often seen with: • Custom fields (for example, ACF) • Page builders such as Avada, Divi, or Elementor • Shortcodes or custom HTML blocks To narrow this down, please let us know exactly where this content is coming from. Is it: • A shortcode? • A specific Elementor widget? • A custom field on the page? Here is an example (with the Avada theme) that shows a similar situation where encoded content cannot be sent to translation: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-cannot-send-some-of-the-content-to-translation-5/#post-16314368 3. Imported translations behavior If the translated content was imported using WP All Import together with the WPML All Import add-on, this behavior is expected. Imported translations display correctly on the front-end, but they cannot be edited or updated using WPML’s translation editors. To modify imported translations, you’ll need to: • Switch to the native WordPress editor • Edit the translated content manually More details are available here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/#how-to-use-manual-translation

devronH	1. How was the “Related Products” text added? I’ve included a screenshot of the Elementor editor and widget where the “Related Products” is defined. The widget used is the “Product Related” Elementor widget. 2. Content not appearing in the Translation Editor I’ve included a screenshot of the Elementor Template I was trying to edit when the pop-up error message showed. This is our Single Product Template. 3. Imported translations behavior Ok, that makes sense. Most of the translations were uploaded through All Import.

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for providing the details. The “Related Products” text can be translated in WPML → String Translation. Go to WPML → String Translation, search for it, and translate it. I have attached the screenshot for your review.

devronH	Hello, I am still having issues updating the Single Product Elementor template. I made some design changes, but they aren't showing up in the French and Spanish versions. I read through your support, and it said I need to update through the translation editor. However, when I tried to access the French and Spanish versions, I got the pop-up shown in my attachment. Thank you, and I look forward to your response.
