Can't register any theme strings.

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

Problem:
I am trying to translate theme strings, but I can't register any. It doesn't matter if I try to do it with function like do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', 'stegu', 'enter_search_terms', 'Enter search terms' ); or simply using __ . Also, options text fields page from ACF options page can't be translated (it works for acf fields in posts or pages). Link to a page where the issue can be seen: https://test.stegu.pl/

Solution:
For some reasons some of icl tables had positions with id 0. after removing them all works as a charm.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: Can't register any theme strings. ACF options text fields page can't be translated. Questions: Why can't I register theme strings using WPML? Why can't I translate options text fields from the ACF options page?

Lauren Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	Have you tried registering a new site key? I Found an error related to the key in the communication log, so let's try that and see what happens. Go to wpml.org/account/sites and delete the existing URL. Then, add it back. This generates a new site key. Copy this key. Next, go to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial. Click the link to unregister WPML from this site, and then you'll see the option to register the new key. After that, try running the scan for the theme strings again and let me know if anything changes.
