To complete the translation using Advanced Translation Editor: - Enable the WPML Translation Editor for that page. - Open the Spanish language page in Advanced Translation Editor. - Click on the settings icon from the top right corner of the page. - Choose the Previous version of ATE temporarily. - Complete the translation of the two attributes. - Switch back to the new version of ATE and press the 'Complete Translation' button.
