Problem:
The client is trying to set up a custom role for site editors to manage translations without giving them super admin permissions. They have used the User Role Editor plugin to configure the role but are unable to see the edit button for translations in the backend or frontend, despite following the steps in the provided documentation and ensuring all checkboxes are enabled.
Solution:
We recommend updating WPML to the latest version, as this issue has been addressed in version 4.6.9. Before updating, ensure to create a complete backup of the site. For more details on the issue and the fix, please refer to the errata page:
