This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with the 'icl_string_positions' table's 'position_in_page' column storing absolute paths instead of paths relative to ABSPATH, this can lead to problems when migrating to a new server or in a multi-server environment. This is because the ABSPATH might not be identical on all servers, causing unnecessary writes and duplicate data.
Solution:
We have managed to reproduce this issue by enabling the settings 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' and 'Track where strings appear on the site', followed by migrating the website to a new domain. We have escalated this issue to our second-tier support for further investigation and to our developers for a permanent fix in future versions. Please be aware that resolving this may take some time.
If this solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
