Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my page using WPML, but I encountered an issue. Here is the link to the page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
Symptoms:
Failed to parse because your job is above file limit of 1MB.
Questions:
How can I resolve the file size limit issue when translating my page?
Before this thread gets assigned to my colleague, I'd like to offer some initial guidance or potential solutions.
This issue typically occurs when the page you’re trying to translate contains content that causes the XLIFF file (sent to the translator) to exceed 1MB. As a result, the translator cannot process the file, leading to this error.
Could you please open the default page in the editor and ensure it doesn’t contain any invalid metadata, as mentioned in the following response?
If possible, try removing sections from the page and resending the translation. This approach will help you identify which specific content is making the XLIFF file larger and causing the issue in the Advanced Translation Editor.
Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. We'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.
I can see the post you sent the screenshot is hidden
After a thorough investigation, I have successfully been able to fix the issue. The issue was happening due to some HTML Meta data that was somehow added with each heading and paragraph content on that page. Please check this screenshot(hidden link) for a better understanding.
Those data were also getting added with the translation job which was increasing the job file size. As a result, ATE was unable to process the job and an error was thrown.
I deleted those data and now the Translation editor is getting loaded properly. Please check this screenshot(hidden link) for a better understanding.
If you ever encounter this issue in the future, please check the Heading and paragraphs and if you find the same metadata, make sure to delete them. Also, if you're pasting any content, after pasting, also check if any Meta data are pasted with it or not. I hope you can understand.

Hi,
Instead of deleting, it’s sufficient to ensure it’s properly added (e.g., by pasting it into a regular text editor as an update). Thank you for the information. I’ll mark this as resolved.
