Hi,
we have created a development site of our original website to implement the translation then we will move it to the live site.
live site (no translation): fanclb.com
dev site: hidden link

we have tried to translate the home page, created a new page
hidden link

when we load it, some of the english is not translated, and some are translated to spanish.

when we go to edit the spanish page using elementor, it keeps loading and it doesnt open the edit (i tried elementor safe mode and same issue).

My Questions:

1- why we cannot edit the Spanish page using Elementor (loading issue).
2- Under the translations menu: we tried to translate most of the text in the home page but only some were translated and the rest kept in English. is this the right way to translate or do we need to edit using Elementor?
3- string translation: I enabled the auto renderd option, is this where we should translate all the text?

Hi Moody,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

I'm not sure why you are not able to edit the homepage in the Spanish language with Elementor but you are using the Advanced Translation Editor, please use this editor to update the translation on your site.

Regarding some sections are not translated into Spanish, I see you are using the Elementor widget "trx_sc_title" from the plugin "ThemeREX Addons". It looks like the Elementor widgets from this plugin are not registered for translation.
I suggest you follow the documentation below to create a custom XML configuration code to register the widget for translation. Then edit the homepage in English > Make a small change to the page title/content > Save > Update the translation and see how it goes.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
