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

Problem:
If you're trying to perform a translation on a page using WPML and when you click the + icon to translate a page, it takes you to the translation queue instead of directly opening the translation form.
Solution:
We recommend you first check the following errata to see if you're experiencing a known issue: https://wpml.org/errata/clicking-on-the-translation-icon-redirects-to-wpml-translations-instead-of-ate/.
Next, go to WPML → Support and click on the Troubleshooting link. Here, click 'Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs' and 'Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE'. Then, try adding the translation again.
If the issue persists, we suggest testing with a minimal setup: use a default theme (if applicable) and disable all non-WPML and non-essential plugins to see if the error still occurs.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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

Background of the issue:
I am trying to perform a translation on a page using WPML on my site hidden link.

Symptoms:
When I click the + icon to translate a page, it takes me to the translation queue instead of directly opening the translation form.

Questions:
Why does the + icon take me to the translation queue instead of opening the translation form?
Is this a setting, or a change in the software?
