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

Problem:
You are unable to modify the French Contact page.
Solution:
If you're experiencing issues with editing a translation that was originally created using the WPML Translation Editor, it's important to continue using the same editor. We recommend not switching between different editors (like the WordPress Editor or Elementor) for editing translations made in the WPML Translation Editor. To edit or create translations using a specific editor, please follow the guidelines provided in our documentation: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

It looks like you are trying to edit a WPML Editor created translation using another Editor. If that's the case, it's not recommended and you should get a warning.

Translations created with the WPML Translation Editor should never be edited using another tool and vice-versa. If you want to edit/create translations using the WordPress Editor or Elementor, you should use the proper option, as described here:
