I am unable to perform manual translation/page duplication. Even if I select WP Editor as the preference for a page or post under "Translate this Document:, it defaults to the WPML Translation Editor.
Most pages in the site are built using Elementor pages which have been duplicated due to differences in content. Previously when I clicked the translation icon from the page list, it would let me link to the other language page I have created, however now it opens the WPML editor as well.
you can try to update the default language title and save it to start a new translation job or you can cancel any ongoing in progress translation jobs from WPML > Translation Management> Jobs, then when clicking on the icons it should open up WP editor.
I can't cancel jobs it seems. I do so, whether attempting to use the trash can icon or bulk cancel, and the jobs just reappear in queue after showing as have been cancelled.
I am using manual string translation for Posts, but fully manual, duplication translation for Pages. I can no longer use the WP editor for manual translations. It reverts to the WPML string translation editor no matter what editor settings I have designated, and when it does so, it creates a translation job. I have zero need for creating translation jobs.
Per the attached screenshots. I see "In progress" for translation (even though the About page has been mapped to its Chinese equivalent). When I cancel it, it shows cancelled, but upon refreshing the jobs screen, it is in progress once again.
You can try to edit the post then:
- switch back to WPML Translation Editor
- apply for the current post
- switch back to WordPress Editor
- apply for the current post
- click on the translation icon again

If it does not help, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
