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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with translating text within curly braces ({{}}) using the Heading widget from "Elementskit" in Elementor, it's because this syntax is not supported by WordPress or Elementor for focusing text.
Solution:
We recommend replacing the {{text}} notation with

<span>text</span>

. Text wrapped in tags will inherit the focused title settings and can be translated correctly. You should apply the same HTML formatting in the Translation Editor. For detailed guidance on using HTML in translations, please check this guide.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand the issue you're experiencing. It appears you've used the Heading widget from "Elementskit" and focused on a keyword using curly braces ({{}}). Please note that this option ({{text}}) is not a native feature of WordPress or Elementor. As a result, you may encounter issues translating the text within the curly braces when trying to highlight or focus text this way.

Since the goal is to Focus a text, replace the {{text}} notation with `<span>text</span>`. Everything wrapped in span tags will inherit the focused title settings. Please check the attached screenshot.

You can also apply the same HTML formatting for the translation from the Translation editor. Please check this guide to understand the processes.

I hope you can understand. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
