pieterV-20	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate my home page using WPML. The issue can be seen at the following link: hidden link Symptoms: I receive a critical error when I try to translate my home page via the translation editor. The translation of the page worked before but has now stopped working. I already removed the English version entirely to see if that fixed the issue, but with no result. When I click the plus sign to translate, the update icon keeps spinning. Questions: Why am I encountering a critical error when translating my home page? What steps can I take to resolve the spinning update icon issue?

Activate only the WPML plugins and ACF to check if the issue persists. This will help identify any conflicts with other plugins. 2. Switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty to rule out any theme-related issues. 3. While using this minimal setup (steps 1 and 2), try sending the homepage through Translation Management as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#using-wpmls-translation-management. Then, check the debug log at `/wp-content/debug.log` to see if any errors appear when creating a new translation job.

I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing holiday. Just a quick note: this ticket may automatically close after about 10 days of inactivity. However, if that happens, you're always welcome to create a new ticket once you're back and have had a chance to complete the tests and check the debug logs.
