Hi there!

It seems that the theme is not yet fully prepared to be translated with WPML, but don’t worry — I’ll help you with that.

1. First, we need to make sure that the page options are copied over to the translation. I went to WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation and set all the custom fields related to the page options to "Copy".

2. The widgets you're using come from the theme, and they don’t include the necessary XML code to make their content translatable. To fix this, we need to generate the correct XML code. You can read more about this process in our documentation here:
👉 https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/

To make it easier, I’ve recorded a short video explaining everything:
hidden link

Would you give me permission to install the WPML Multilingual Tools plugin? This will allow me to generate the XML code needed to make the homepage widgets translatable.

Let me know 😊
