Translations on advanced editor don't publish on pages

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

Problem:
You are trying to publish translations on pages using the advanced editor, but the translations are not publishing.
Solution:
We have confirmed that this issue does not occur in our local tests, even when the String Translation plugin is reactivated. We attempted to review this on your installation via the File Manager, but it appears that debugging is not writing to the debug.log. We recommend that you verify on your side if there have been any recent changes, such as a modified log path.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Lucas Vidal de Andrade WPML Supporter since 11/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hey there, I downloaded a copy of your website, and noted that the translation content disappears, when WPML String Translation is active. This plugin is required, so WPML works with Elementor. I will make a few more tests, but will likely need to get a second opinion with my colleagues. I'll let you know in the next 24 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi, my colleague Lucas is currently unavailable, so I will take over this case. We can confirm that the issue does not occur locally, even when the String Translation plugin is reactivated. Our team also tried to review this on your installation via the File Manager, but it seems that debugging is not writing to the debug.log. Could you please verify this on your side? Are you aware of any recent changes, such as a modified log path? Best regards, Marcel
