404 on translated pages

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

Problem:

When editing the translations by pressing the circled arrow icon, I get: “You do not have permission to edit the selected content type.”

Solution:

It is uncertain what caused this problem in the first place. We suspect that it was some wrong DB entries. We have found that the translations led to a revision, not an actual page. By deleting some entries in the DB, it was possible to solve this issue. If you encounter a similar problem, please open a new ticket in our support forum. You can mention this ticket as a reference.

pawelW-13	We have AGAIN a problem with home pages ("strona główna" in polish) translations on hidden link Aften small updates (we added new slider) we want to change language for one of the available in language menu, then we have 404 page. For example - hidden link Moreover we don't have an access to edit this EN, CS, SK, HU, LT home pages. Look at the video, which I made for you. hidden link "Brak uprawnień do edytowania wybranego typu treści." means "You do not have permission to edit the selected content type." But for today every user can edit this page.

I have s fix for this issue, but it involves a change in the DB. I don't know what caused this problem, which is why I'm consulting our second-tier supporters.
