I followed the solution proposed here:

You can see the segment "Press&Media" in the attached image, highlighted in orange.

Symptoms:

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand the issue you're facing. I checked the Job ID from the screenshot in our translation management system and found that the text is HTML formatted and contains a link. You'll need to apply the same formatting in the translation to save the segments properly.

Could you please switch to our new Advanced Translation Editor and see if you're able to make the same formatting and save the segment from there? To switch to the previous translation editor, follow these steps:

1. Open the translation editor.
2. Click on the gear icon at the top of the editor.
3. Enable the option "Use new version of the Advanced Translation Editor."

Please refer to this screenshot for guidance: hidden link.

Please let me know how it goes. I'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
