This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're editing text in the original language on your site and then attempt to correct the text in another language using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor, you might find that the translation in the second language disappears. This issue occurs when the system detects changes in a segment, requiring you to retranslate and review it.
Solution:
When you add new text in the primary language and save changes, ensure you use the "Complete Translation" button in the Advanced Translation Editor. This process should help in retaining the translations based on the translation memory. If the translation still does not appear, it might be necessary to manually re-enter and retranslate the affected segments. For more details on how translation memory works and can assist in this process, you can read here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-wpml-keeps-track-of-your-translations/
