 * Hi,
 * I am facing a problem here:
    I use the language of the site for example in Arabic
   and the dashboard in English. If I want to edit my site and I click on “edit 
   with elementor” Elementor is displayed in Arabic. How can I force elementor to
   stay in English?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * Hi,
 * It is written :
 * > Note: It is not possible to run Elementor or Elementor Pro in a different language
   > from the one chosen in the WordPress settings.
 * If I have understood correctly it is not possible, correct?

 * Hi,
 * I have deleted the translation files that were in the Languages folder.
 * Elementor is now in English, but quickly wordpress tells me that new translations
   are available, how to avoid that?

 * Hi,
 * Unfortunately, it is not possible by default. Elementor automatically wants to
   show in a language that is set as a site language. You might need to find a 3rd
   party plugin for this

 * Hi, folks–
 * I’ve been experimenting with Elementor on a site I just inherited which uses 
   it, and there’s a lot to like, but I see a serious problem: This choice of using
   global site language for the back end instead of preferred language for the user
   actually utilizing Elementor, is very short-sighted and may be a deal-breaker.
 * Sites may have content contributors from multiple countries using their respective
   language, and the obvious back-end interface language choice for Elementor should
   be that of the logged-in user, NOT the site default.
 * This is the standard that WordPress itself and its themes follow, is not possible
   to have Elementor do the same?
 * Requiring international content editors to work in a second language when using
   Elementor, is a strong incentive for avoiding it for future sites.

 * Totally agree with you.
    **I don’t think it’s difficult to set up for a team 
   that manages Elementor.**
