stephanM-24	OK, I removed the emojis from this page: hidden link and suddenly all the hidden translations below on the page appear. (Relating to my message above, I finally managed to save the WPML editor for this page despite the disturbing error messages.) However, in the right column (Fractional Change Agent) I changed the lingo to informal German, but it still shows the old text in formal German. I cannot make WPML show the text that is inside the WPML editor. on the published page as well So, how can this be solved?

The settings currently use "Informal". WPML's translation engine, PTC, by default always translates into formal German. If you agree, I would like to offer to enable PTC, add some credits to the site, and run a few tests.

You wish to use "Informal German"? If so, you need to overwrite the existing translations, as they are already saved in translation memory.
