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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where WPML automatically completes a translation incorrectly, you might need to manually edit these translations.
Solution:
We recommend two methods to manually edit translations:
1. Edit the content in the original language and click on the pencil icon under the Language block. This action will take you to the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), where you can edit the translation.
2. Navigate to WPML -> Translation Management, select the content, and assign it to yourself for translation. Then, go to WPML -> Translations and click on the option to update the translation.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

Hello there,

In these cases, you have two options:
1.- Edit the content in the original language and click on the pencil (translation) icon under the Language block. That will take you to the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), and there you will be able to edit the translation.

2.- You can go to WPML -> Translation management -> Select the content and assign it to yourself for translation. Then go to WPML -> Translations -> Click on the option to update the translation

Regards,
Carlos
