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

Problem:
The client is unable to see the translated text on the right side when trying to translate a page using WPML.
Solution:
If you're experiencing an issue where no translated text appears on the right side while translating a page, it's likely because you are using the Classic Translation Editor (CTE). The CTE requires manual input of translations. To utilize automatic translation, you should switch to the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).
Here are the steps to set up the ATE for automatic translations:
1. Visit the WPML documentation on automatic translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/
2. Follow the instructions provided to enable and configure the ATE.

If this solution doesn't seem relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket in our forum: WPML support forum.

Hello,

The video capture linked below shows how I tried to translate a page, but no translated text appears on the right side.

Please can you explain what should I do differently for the translation to work correctly?

Thank you

Hi Abdellah,

Thank you for the screencast!

This is because the editor used in the video is our Classic Translation Editor (CTE), this editor requires you or a translator user to add the translation manually.

To use the automatic translation, you will need to use the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE)

See in the following documentation how to set this up:
https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/

Let me know your results, please.
