Problem: You are experiencing issues with changing IDs in XLIFF when translating content using WPML. Specifically, you noticed that the translation job ID changes when you modify and re-export content. Solution: When you send a page for translation for the first time, a unique translation job ID is created. If you later make changes to the original page, this triggers an 'update needed' status for the translation and generates a new job ID. To manage minor edits without creating a new job ID, you can mark the change as a 'Minor edit.' This action helps in preventing the system from generating a new translation job for small changes like adding a comma or fixing a typo. For more details on marking edits as minor, you can refer to this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/i7zMs-xMw876.
