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

Problem:
The client needs to know if WPML can track changes and keep versions of translations, and whether it is possible to restore old translations using WPML.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this, we recommend checking if WordPress revisions is enabled on your site. You can open the translated page in the WordPress editor and check the available revisions for the translated page. From there, you can track the changes made to the translation and restore a previous version if needed. By default, revisions should be enabled, so you should find the Revision option when you open the page in the WordPress editor.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand what you're looking for. If WordPress revisions is enabled on your site, you can open the translated page in the WordPress editor and check the available revisions for the translated page. From the revisions section, you can track the changes made to the translation and restore a previous version if needed. Please check hidden link">this screenshot to understand how you can access the revisions for a translated page.

By default, revisions should be enabled, so you should find the Revision option when you open the page in the WordPress editor.

I hope the information above helps. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance or clarification in this matter. I will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
