Hello!
Thank you for WPML and your previous answer to my issues!

We use it for years already. Now I have some struggles now with new features. We've set up Advanced Translation Editor, but I want to be able to translate pages, templates, posts manualy.

I was searching your help sections, but didn't find how to make it.
Please explain these setting.

Thank you Carlos!
I am able now to edit manually in WordPress Editor.

One more thing - we use resources in our website - people can download books and guides. Our main language is Russian. For English and Spanish version I need to be able to change resources details: picture, description, the title, download link.

This part of page is created in Elementor and is inserted as template. How can I translate this resource section ?
