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

Problem:
You are trying to translate a page on your website using WPML, but encounter issues with markers during the translation process.
Solution:
If you're experiencing issues with markers while translating a page, we recommend that you highlight the first word in yellow and the second word in red. Initially, you might have marked both words in red and then applied yellow to the first word, which does not match the original order. To resolve this, press the "Copy" button to copy the same marker format, and then re-add the translation.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hi,

You need to highlight the first word in yellow and the second word in red. However, you marked both in red first and then applied yellow to the first word, which does not match the original order. You can press the "Copy" button to copy the same marker format, and they re-add the translation.

Best regards,
Marcel
