rokasB-4	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate content using XLIFF files with WPML. I have a translation file and I see duplicated package strings. Symptoms: I expected to see a normal amount of strings, but instead, I got double the amount of strings to translate. Questions: Why are there duplicated package strings in my translation file? How can I resolve the issue of having double the amount of strings to translate?

rokasB-4	I have used WPML 3 years back in my site. I rebuilt it with elementor and now when exporting XLIFF i see duplicates of same strings. For example package-string-1-56 and package-string-31-878 are identical as well as many similar others

WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Could it be the case that the site earlier used Gutenberg or another page builder besides Elementor? If so, this could be the reason for the duplicated entries. Please revise WPML > Packages. You will see a list of all string packages and their source (Gutenberg, Elementor, etc.). Each string package uses the post ID as a suffix. It would be advisable to verify the post ID of the package that you are trying to translate and identify any old packages that are causing the issue. If you need assistance with this task, please let me know. Best regards Andreas
