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

Problem:
The client is trying to make their website multilingual with Armenian as the default language and English and Russian as additional languages. They used the WPML Translation Dashboard to translate the website. However, in the editor, the translated version is displayed correctly, but on the live page, it still shows the Armenian text instead of the translated text.
Solution:
First, ensure that the server meets the minimum requirements for running WPML, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/en/home/minimum-requirements/
Next, increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 256 MB by adding the following code to the

wp-config.php

file:

define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

Place this code just before the comment:

// That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

If your hosting provider restricts these settings, contact them to make the necessary changes.
After adjusting the memory limits, follow these steps:
1. Edit the page in the default language and make a small edit then update.
2. Open the translation and re-save it.
3. Clear the cache.
4. Go to WPML->Support->Troubleshooting and clear WPML Cache.
If the issue persists after these steps, we 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 still exists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to make my website multilingual with Armenian as the default language and English and Russian as additional languages. I used the WPML Translation Dashboard to translate the website. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
In the editor, the translated version is displayed correctly, but on the live page, it still shows the Armenian text instead of the translated text.

Questions:
Why is the translated text not appearing on the live page?
How can I ensure the live page displays the correct translated version?

Hello,

It seems the minimum requirements on your server are not met:
https://wpml.org/en/home/minimum-requirements/

Could you please increase the WordPress memory limit (WP Memory Limit) to at least 256 MB? WPML requires at least 128 MB.
Your current values ​​are:

PHP Memory Limit 128 MB
WP Memory Limit 40 MB

To do this, connect to your website's server and open the wp-config.php file in a text editor. The file is located in the WordPress root directory.

Add this code to the wp-config.php file to increase WordPress memory:

define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

Add this just before this comment:

// That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

The current values ​​can be viewed under WPML > Support > WordPress.

These settings can be restricted directly by your hosting provider. Therefore, I recommend contacting them and asking them to make the changes directly if the changes are not applied immediately.

It might even be advisable to ask the hosting support to set the PHP memory limit to at least 384M and then set the WP Memory Limit in WordPress to 256M. It depends on the value for current memory usage at WPML > Support > PHP.

Finally, please edit the original page, save it again, and complete the translation. Make sure that the translation is completed to 100%.

If this does not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards,
Andreas

That didn’t help either. The problem is still there.

I solved the issue in the following way: I permanently deleted the translated pages and then recreated the pages to be translated. As a result, the problem was fixed.
