Problem: You are trying to add a French translation to a post using the WPML plugin. After completing the translation and pressing 'Complete translation', the Pencil icon shows it is applied. However, upon refreshing the page, the Pencil icon disappears, and the + button reappears, with the French translation still missing. Solution: If this issue is only occurring on a specific page, it might be due to corruption on that page. We recommend trying to duplicate the page and then attempting the translation on the duplicated page. Please check if this resolves the issue.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance at WPML support forum.
