Background of the issue:
I'm using 5 languages on my site. For the default language, I use Myanmar language. I select translation options to 'Duplicate content' method on all pages.

Symptoms:
When I change data in the default language (Myanmar) and save, the second language (English) changes into Myanmar data.

Questions:
What is causing the second language to change into the default language data?
Can I make something wrong method?
Could you please advise me?

Did you ever change the site’s default language in WPML settings? (Not just the default language for content but the actual site-wide default language setting.)

So this:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/manage-archive-listings-default-language-change/

If not, can you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/pexlechris-adminer/ to this site?

To troubleshoot this problem, I'll install the Duplicator plugin and generate packages for further debugging purposes. I'll ensure to exclude all media files to maintain a minimal package size.

You can find more information about the process here:

Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to you!
