This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is unable to translate the content of an entry using WPML, although they can translate the title.
Solution:
We reviewed the client's post and confirmed that the content is visible in the editor. We recommend the client to verify if they can see the content in their editor as well. If the content is still not visible or translatable, it might be due to a configuration issue or a compatibility problem with the theme or another plugin.

Please ensure that you have the latest versions of WPML and any other installed themes and plugins. You can also check for any known issues that might be affecting content translation at https://wpml.org/known-issues/. If the problem persists, we suggest opening a new support ticket for further assistance.

If you need further help, please do not hesitate to contact us on our support forum at https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/.

Hi,

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama
