Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. My name is Nicolas and I will be happy to help you today.

Going from 4.4.10 to 4.6.3 is a big jump (2 years of development).

Let's try to update WPML and String Translation progressively:
1. Made a full backup of your site, in case something breaks you will be able to get back to that point of restauration
2. Here are the links to our changelogs for WPML and String Translation:
- https://wpml.org/download/wpml-multilingual-cms/?section=changelog
- https://wpml.org/download/wpml-string-translation/?section=changelog
3. Update WPML and String Translation in parallel one major version at the time.
For example you have now 4.4.10 (March 15, 2021), update WPML to 4.5.0 (October 11, 2021) and String Translation to 3.2.0 (October 11, 2021)

PS: Also note that "Translation management" is part of our core WPML plugin since version 4.5 so you will be invited to remove the old add-on once WPML is updated.
