I deleted and re-added my user. Then, I saw the translations that I sent but when I opened the first form to translate, this happened (it stays like this all the time):

Please make sure to have a full website backup, reach out to your hosting and ask them to downgrade PHP to version 8.2.

Let me know if the issue is solved after that.

Hello there,

To escalate this issue to the appropriate team, I need you to please create a staging version of the website, preferably on the same server. This way, we can test and check solutions without harming your live website.

Please send me the link here, when you're done. You can keep the same user I already have on staging. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I escalated to 2nd tier and will get back once I receive feedback. That usually takes a few days.

Hello there,

Thank you for waiting. I was able to find a solution. Please ensure to have a backup and follow these steps:

1. Open your DB admin of your choice (it can be PhpMySQL, or any other you want);
2. Run this command:

UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 1 WHERE `status` = 2

3. Then run this other:

UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 10 WHERE `status` = 1;
UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 10 WHERE `status` = 9;

Make sure to replace '{wpdbPrefix}' if your actual table prefix. If that's too advanced for you, or you need more specific instructions, let me know.
