Background of the issue:
Hi, Ive been trying to link my new site to the account. I have connected the site but dont see any references of it here. Site is hidden link

Symptoms:
Keep getting error when I try to translate. Here's the error message: WPML tried to translate this page three times and failed. I expected to see: Swedish Translation. Instead, I got: Its not showing up.

Questions:
Why is my site not showing up in the account after connecting it?
What is causing the translation error and how can I fix it?

Does the issue happen for one page or all pages? Have you restored this site from a copy?

If this happens only on this page, I will try to delete the translation and retranslate it. If the page has not been translated yet, go to WPML → Translation Management and cancel the translation job.

Please also test this with WPML plugins are activated only.

Remember to backup your database before you proceed.

HI, Its happening for all the pages on the current site.

The site is a copy of another site.

After moving your website to the new URL, you should see a migration wizard window that allows you to specify if you want to keep both sites or switch your site’s address to the new one. This could be the reason why the translation editor isn't loading for you.

To address this, go to WPML → Translation Management and verify if the migration wizard is available. If it is, follow its suggestions.
