When trying to edit existing translations as a custom user role, the pencil icon is greyed out and it shows this message: "You can only edit translations assigned to you"

How do you make the custom user role able to ALWAYS edit all translations, even when not assigned to them.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Please create a full backup then add the following code to your theme's functions.php file: 

add_filter('wpml_user_can_translate', function ($user_can_translate, $user){
	if (in_array('your_custom_role', (array) $user->roles, true) && current_user_can('translate')) {
		return true;
	}
	
	return $user_can_translate;
}, 10, 2);

Please note that you need to change the your_custom_role part with your custom role name.

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed
