[Waiting for user feedback] Link truncated

For some reason, a properly translated link always (at multiple instances on the website) gets truncated from
hidden link
to
hidden link

I have tried many ways to change this (in ATE, in string files, etc.), and in the translation views/windows it correctly saves (with confirmation message) but on the website it always end up being truncated and when I re-check the string it has been truncated again. In the troubleshooting page I have also cleared the WMPL cache, removed ghost entries, and ran the "cleanup and optimize string tables" command. But not change. Also checked if this is a redirection issue, but doesn't appear so.

In addition, when trying to access "Theme and Plugin localisation" the site throws a fatal WordPress error, which seems to be in the WPML section, hence I believe this is a WPML issue.

Can you please help? Cheers, Valentin
I will copy the fatal error message details below.
