This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I'm attempting to translate a header template created with WPBakery Page Builder. Despite translating the content, the changes are not visible in the DE version of the site, and I'm unable to translate certain functions as well.
Solution:
The issue was addressed by using a different widget that is compatible with WPML. The specific WP Bakery widget named "HEADING" used in the theme is not compatible with WPML. For the translation to be effective, either the theme developer needs to make their WP Bakery widgets compatible with WPML or an alternative, compatible widget should be used.
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to translate a header template. It's built on the WPBakery Page Builder. Despite making changes in the translation, I don't see them in the DE version. Why? I also can't translate the functions.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
You write... find the ID of the WP Bakery template and the ID of the translated one. - Where can I find this ID? I translated a specific section (attachment), but there are no changes on the front end.
No that is not what I meant, if there is an option on your theme that selects the template that you already created with WP Bakery.
So basically you added the template, and most probably already translated it. But there should be an option somewhere in your theme that you tell the theme that this is what I want to show as the header.
That I need to know what is, and you can search for that option. Usually you select the WP Bakery template there and the value of that option is the ID of the template which you can see by going to the edit screen of the WP Bakery Template and in the URL of the page on the browser address bar you will see the ID.
Then you can use the admin language switcher to change the language and this time see the translated WP Bakery template ID.
Finally you would search in the string translation for the default ID and in the translation you would add the translated ID like the documentation I shared.
If you need help, I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.
Make sure you set the next reply as private.
But please give me information on where to see the theme option that selects the header or if there is another way that you select the WP Bakery Template as the main header of the website so I know where to search.
I have created a video showing how to do the translation:

Here is the documentation of the WordPress Native Editor translation (Manual Translation) mode I mentioned at the end of the video if you are interested:
