File Size limit exceeded notification

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate a page into Swedish and Danish using WPML, but you encounter a 'File size limit exceeded' notification. This issue arises because the job exceeds the file limit of 1MB.
Solution:
We recommend checking the page using the "Code Editor" to identify any unusually long strings that might be causing the file size to exceed the limit. If you find such a string, please remove it and then attempt to open the Advanced Translation Editor again. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

kitijaJ	Background of the issue: I would like to translate 1 page to Swedish and Danish using WPML. This is the page I would like to translate: hidden link. I have translated pages that are definitely longer before. Symptoms: File size limit exceeded notification. Failed to parse because your job is above file limit of 1MB. Questions: Why does it say that the file size limit is exceeded this time? Can you help me resolve the file size limit issue?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for reaching us. There could be some invalid strings in the content that is causing this issue. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified. Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements. Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me. ✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

I've checked the page using the page "Code Editor" and I noticed this very long string as shown in the attached screenshot that is causing the issue.
