The issue is that when you remove a heading, text block, section from a page that has been build by Bricks, those old, removed, elements still show up in the WPML Advanced Translator tool. This is the case for their old and new version of the translator tool.

There is already a forum topic about this on the WPML form, saying they are in touch with the Bricks team, but there hasn’t been a fix for 2 months now: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/using-manual-translation-when-i-delete-some-text-or-elements-from-the-page-it-still-appears-in-advan/#post-16146001

The only work-around I found is duplicating a page and afterwards remove the old page. This results in the Advanced Translation tool showing only the strings that are there on the page.

Hopefully this will get fixed soon.

Hi M,

That’s great to hear! Looking forward to the fix and having the WPML translator unclogged of all the old, removed, Bricks elements/strings.
