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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with translations not being saved in the WPML Translation Editor. Specifically, translations disappear when moving to the next segment, and only a fraction of translations are saved after multiple attempts.
Solution:
1. Update all WPML components: Ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest versions available.
2. Increase PHP Configuration Limits: Increase the

max_input_vars

to 10000 and the WP memory limit to at least 256MB. These changes can be made in the

php.ini

,

.htaccess

, or

wp-config.php

files.
3. Clear Caches: Clear all caches including WordPress site cache and browser cache to ensure new settings take effect.

If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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. If problems persist, please open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate content paragraph by paragraph in the WPML Translation Editor and have the translations saved correctly. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
Some translations are not saved. Hovering over the segment temporarily shows the text, but as soon as I leave the segment, the translation disappears. After multiple attempts, only a few translations are saved.

Questions:
Why are some translations not being saved in the WPML Translation Editor?
How can I ensure that all translations are saved and displayed correctly on the frontend?

The issue stopped, now it works. I guess google updated again so the issue is fixed. If it happens again I will reache out again.
