Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where words were merging together in translated pages using WPML with Elementor Text Editor. The problem persisted even after manual corrections and reappeared with changes in the base language. Solution: We initially suggested the client to make a small change to the default language page and resend it for translation to see if the issue persists. After reproducing the issue on a test site, it was escalated to our second-tier support. The problem was identified to be related to nested tags and specific translation engines like DEEPL. We recommended avoiding nested tags or manually adjusting the text in the WPML editor until a permanent fix was released. Eventually, the issue was resolved on our side, and we confirmed that automatic translation no longer removes white spaces between words. The client was advised to update the content in the default language and resend it for translation.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
