nielsO-5	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate content on my site hidden link using WPML. Symptoms: I received an error message stating: 'Someone is already reviewing this translation. Please try again later.' despite not reviewing the translation myself. Questions: Could you help me understand why I am seeing this error? How can I resolve the issue of the translation being reviewed by someone else?

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. This error occurs when translations are assigned to someone else in WPML → Translations. Are you the only user on the site set as a translator under WPML → Translation Management → Translators? If not, try resending the job from WPML > Translation Management. Go to the dashboard, select the job you want to review, and send it for translation again. This process should remove the "old" user set as a reviewer and enable you to translate the page this time.

nielsO-5	Hi there, It seems to start a new translation on some pages, but the loading icon has been there for a few days. On other pages it does not start and when I click it I get the same message: "Someone is already translating etc". Any other options?

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thank you for your feedback. Have you had a chance to try the steps mentioned above? You can also try to cancel the translation jobs by going to WPML → Translation Management → Translators → Jobs. Please upload screenshots to illustrate the problem if you’re still experiencing it.
