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

Problem:
If you're experiencing a red error message when trying to edit the Norwegian translation of your site, it might be due to several issues including outdated plugins or insufficient memory limits.
Solution:
1. Edit the page in the original language and make a small change to the content. Save these changes.
2. Navigate to WPML -> Translation Dashboard, select the page, and send it for translation to see if the issue resolves.
3. Ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest version. You can check for updates in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab.
4. Increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB. You can do this by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add this line above the '/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */' line. You can verify the updated memory limit in WPML -> Support.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 further assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi,

I have a client who wants to edit the Norwegian translation of their site. However, when they click to edit it, a red error message appears at the top of the page.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this and how we can resolve it?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- I kindly ask you to follow these steps:
- Edit the page in the original language
- Make a small change to the content
- Save the changes
- Go to WPML -> Translation Dashboard -> Select the page and send it for translation
- Check if the issue has disappeared

2.- Please don't forget to update the WPML plugins to the latest version in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab

3.- Increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

Looking forward to your message.

Carlos
