ritaG-8	Tell us what you are trying to do? When I am editing master version (English) of the website, then all translations deleting and I need to translate everything once again.

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Before this ticket gets assigned to my colleagues, I will try to help. From what it sounds to me, the "Translate independently" button was not pressed yet on the translation backend page (I am attaching a screenshot so that you can see how that button looks - it should be visible in the backend page editor for the translation). Here is also some very helpful documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/using-content-duplication/ Please let us know how that went and if you were able to solve the issue. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

ritaG-8	There is also the same view. I've added one more screenshot to show you the way I am translating the page. 1 step. I am clicking on the "+"symbol near necessary language 2 step. There is new page opens (see the screenshot) 3 step. Adding needed translation and clicking on the "complete" button.

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	I see, and after you save the original, all the translations in transition editor get wiped out so the translation editor is empty again? Would you be willing to provide me with WordPress credentials so I could investigate the issue directly? https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ I marked your next reply as private so that you can safely add credentials. And tell me on which page as it happened so I could test myself.

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	I tested with one of the pages: hidden link This is what I see, it seems to be working properly. Perhaps you are encountering this scenario? https://wpml.org/faq/why-arent-my-translations-showing/#why-does-my-translation-disappear-from-the-advanced-translation-editor-when-i-update-my-default-content
