Background of the issue:
I translated my articles using WPML, but I found that the same HTML block keeps getting repeated. I attempted to translate each block separately. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
The same HTML block is repeated after translation, even after individually translating each block. The repeated translation is of the first HTML block.

Questions:
Why does the same HTML block keep repeating after translation?
How can I prevent the first HTML block from being repeated in translations?
