[Resolved] Manuell changes in Header and Footer in English change automatically in Spanish
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Hello, I made a duplicate from header and footer with WPML Dashboard with "Duplicate content" for change the content manual in each language.
But when I change content via Elementor Editor in each language, the content changes automatically in the other language. I only want to set content manually in english separate from Spanish. But by myself, not with translator.
What can I do?
Solution:
It seems that the problem was occurring because the String Translation plugin was not installed.
By adding it through the Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial tab, we were able to make a few changes both in the English and in the Spanish version of the Footer, without reflecting this modification into the another language.

Hi there,
Thanks for your contact!
If you haven't gone to the Edit screen of the second language post, and clicked on the 'translate independently' button (hidden link) after duplicating the original to translations, this behavior is expected.
Hello , Thanks for your answer. I tried again.
The Website also use one Header (English or Spanish) for entire side.
Maybe you know if there is an hook for a checkbox wich deactivate this.

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, but I'm not sure if I fully understood it. Would you like to have two separate headers for each language, but you have only one for both of them? If it is the case, perhaps try to check in WPML -> Settings -> Post Types Translation if the header is marked as translatable.
If this is not exactly what you meant, may I kindly ask you to clarify and elaborate it a bit more? E.g. Is there an error message, what are the steps you've tried, etc.
Sometimes screenshots illustrating what you mean may go a long way to clarify what words fail to transmit, so if you like, make use of “upload an image” below the comment area.
Hello and thanks so much for Feedback.
I try to explain again.
I have website in English and spanisch. For both language I need a header with a translation. But by myself not with translator. When I change the content in one header , the content also changes in the other language header. But I want that the content don't change.
I have screenshots from the Header and marked the content which don't change.
And a screenshot with the settings I think you have written.

Hello,
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
- Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link
Please, let me know if you need any additional details. Have a nice day.

Could you please double-check if it is solved now? Thank you.
