Problem: After accidentally deleting the custom DB prefix table 4b5SG_icl_translate, the client recreated the table with the standard WPML structure, executed TRUNCATE on icl_translate and icl_translate_job (141 broken jobs), reset the statuses from 1/2 to 0 in icl_translation_status (44 entries), and ran "Synchronize local task IDs with ATE tasks" multiple times. However, ATE works well on new pages, but on about 42 existing pages, the ⟳ "Update Translation" icon opens the native Elementor editor instead of ATE. The client suspects that the ATE source/target pairs for these pages are lost and needs to force a re-ingestion on the ATE servers. Solution: We suggested checking if the right editor is selected when modifying the page. This can be verified by looking at the right panel and the editor selected at the top, as shown in the screenshots provided. It's possible that the editor was set to "WP editor" instead of ATE. Additionally, we asked to check the URL displayed at the bottom of the page when hovering over the ⟳ icon to ensure it directs to ATE.
