akakiT	Background of the issue: I am trying to use WPML for translation on my website, but it shows white space. I can share credentials and logs if needed. Everything is updated. I think the issue arises when there are many languages on the website. The issue can be seen here: hidden link. Symptoms: Since the latest WPML update approximately 6 months ago, WPML does not display translations in the translation editor. Instead of pages loading for translation, I see white space. Questions: Why does WPML show white space instead of translations in the editor? Is the issue related to having many languages on the website?
