Translated strings shows again in Translation Editor

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

Problem:
The client was confused about why a term was translated several times across different translation methods in WPML, including the Advanced Translation Editor and ACF. Additionally, there was an issue with the translation of a page slug not matching the translation in the Advanced Translation Editor.
Solution:
We explained that once a string/text is translated using the WPML Advanced Translation Editor, it is stored in the Translation Memory. If the text is encountered again, it will be automatically translated without consuming additional credits.

We also provided documentation for further reading on how WPML tracks translations:

rosarioR	Hello, I also translated from the settings, as you recommended, it's working now! But there is something I don't understand, I had already translated this term elsewhere, from the advanced editor and then also in detail within ACF, as I showed you in the video. Why is it translated several times? Also, for example, I'm experiencing something strange. The "Sale Creations" page has been translated with the advanced editor, if I open the editor I can see the translations. But the slug has a different name, should this be managed directly on the copy page? shouldn't it always be translated by the advanced editor? Where does this translation come from? Screenshot 1 hidden link Thank you!

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. Once we translate a string/text using WPML Advanced Translation Editor, it will be kept in the Translation Memory(of a user). When we are translating the text again it will be shown for translation and will be translated automatically, but Advanced Translation Editor will not be consuming extra credits for it. Please refer to the following documentation for more details and let us know your feedback. https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-wpml-keeps-track-of-your-translations/ -- Thanks!

rosarioR	HI, I translated URL by opening the translated page. The advanced editor did not show URLs for translation.
