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

Problem:
You are trying to translate content using WPML and after editing a translation text, you encounter an issue where the original sentence includes formatting markers, but not all markers are applied to the translation.
Solution:
Markers will need to be set manually and in some cases need manual adjustment having performed an automatic translation. You will need to mark the segment and then click the marker.

Hello,

Is this issue occuring when translating automatically?

If not, take note that usually you will need to set the markers identically on your translated segment.

Is there an issue with setting the markers manually?

Best regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,
I appreciate your support.
That's right, it's a trouble to translate manually.
How should I set the markers identically on the translated segment.
The system does not save a translation.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Alexander

You will only need to mark the first line of the segment and then click the marker.
