To have Beaver Builder working with Polylang, you need to change a couple of settings in Polylang:
Select the option "The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks."
Ensure this is NOT ticked "Hide URL language information for the default language."
Select this option "Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks"
Make sure this box is ticked "The front page URL contains the language code instead of the page name or page id."
The easiest way to translate the content is a duplication, followed by a manual connection of the translations.

Q: Check this image. I'm using Polylang for Arabic, but when I select the slider for the Arabic home page, it automatically reverts to English, so how can I fix it?
A: Regarding Slider Revolution translation - the synchronisation in Polylang settings has to be disabled: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/3531869/f221ec854584ee4cb74474fcbd1a820e
