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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where edits made in the WPML Advanced Translation Editor are not updating on your live site, despite the editor indicating 'Translation completed' and after clearing all caches, the live page may still display an older version.
Solution:
We have identified that the problem was related to the XLIFF file used by the Translation Editor. Our development team has addressed this issue with improvements to the system. If you encounter this problem, we recommend re-translating the content to see if the updates take effect on the live site. If the issue persists, it might be due to the solution being outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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.

Hi Paola,

Thank you for the update and for following up on this. I’ve tested the specific page, and it was successfully updated, it seems to be working correctly now.

Could you please let me know if there’s anything I should keep in mind or specific steps I should follow in case something similar happens again in the future?

Best regards,
Constantinos Smyrnaios.

Hi Constantinos,

Thank you for checking and confirming that the page is now working correctly.

The issue was related to the Translation Editor itself, it wasn’t something caused by any action on your side. Our developers are aware of this and have already implemented improvements to prevent it from happening again.

So you don’t need to do anything specific if something similar occurs, but of course, feel free to reach out to us and we’ll take care of it right away.
