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

Problem:
If you're using Elementor or another default editor to translate your pages and then try to synchronize your work with the WPML Translation Editor, you might notice that the content does not appear in the WPML's translation dashboard.
Solution:
We recommend disabling the WPML Translation Editor for the pages or posts you are managing with Elementor. This action prevents any potential conflicts by allowing you to manage translations directly within Elementor. You can disable the WPML Translation Editor in the right sidebar of your pages or posts. For detailed instructions, please visit Using different translation editors for different pages.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also 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. For further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I prefer using my default editor, such as Elementor or Gutenberg, to translate my page to the English version. I am trying to synchronize my translation work when I'm not using the WPML editor as my translation tool.

Symptoms:
When I access WPML's translation dashboard, the content I wrote inside Elementor doesn't appear there.

Questions:
Is there a way to synchronize my translation work when I'm not using the WPML editor?

Hi,

If you use both editors, the changes made in Elementor won’t sync back to the WPML Translation Editor. Since the WPML editor may already have a translation in progress, it could overwrite your edits from Elementor.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: in the right sidebar of your pages or posts, disable the WPML Translation Editor. This way, you can manage the content exclusively with Elementor, without conflicts:
Using different translation editors for different pages

Best regards,
Marcel
