Problem:
Client's website main site is in Dutch, and the translation is in German. The backend shows the correct translation, but the website itself does not reflect the new translations, displaying old dates from 2021.
Solution:

- Ensure you have a backup of your website.
- Navigate to WPML -> Support in your admin dashboard.
- Click the "troubleshooting" link below the plugin versions list.
- In the "Clean up" section, perform the following actions:
# Clear the cache in WPML
# Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
# Fix element_type collation
# Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
# Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
# Set language information
# Fix post type assignment for translations
- After completing the cleanup, go to the affected page and make a minor modification to the content in the original language.
- Attempt to translate the page again and check if the issue is resolved.

The main site is in Dutch
hidden link

The translation is in German
hidden link

I do not know why but this page does not show the new translations.
In the backend the translation is correct but on the website itself it does not show

You can see at the part: Prijzen (Dutch) and Preisen (German) Here you see old dates of 2021
