The client, a translation manager, is unable to edit translations of existing content on a multilingual website. Despite being configured as a translator for all language pairs, the editor role user receives a notice stating 'You can only edit translations assigned to you' when attempting to translate pages and other post types.

We discovered that the issue arises because the content was translated before the editor user was added as a translator. This content is therefore locked to the default admin translator. To resolve this, you need to add the existing content to the translation basket via WP Admin -> WPML -> Translation Management, making it available for the editor user to translate. Any new content added will automatically be available for translation by the editor. Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking the <a href=\'https://wpml.org/known-issues/\'>related known issues</a>, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please <a href=\'https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/\'>open a new support ticket</a>.
