This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client wants to allow a chosen translator to edit glossary entries without giving them admin rights.
Solution:
To enable a non-admin user to edit Glossary entries without admin rights, you can add them as a 'Translation Manager' in WPML -> Translation Management -> Translators. For guidance on working with Translation Managers, please see our documentation here.
To add, edit, or delete Glossary entries, you should navigate to WPML -> Translation Management -> Tools -> Glossary. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to our documentation on how to create and manage glossary entries.
If this solution doesn't look relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. After discussion with the team I found that perhaps there's a little confusion, which may need some explanation. Let me describe: - In the ATE (Advanced Translation Editor), you can not edit a Glossary entry. But can use (or reuse) it by Inserting into the translation box (see ATE.jpg). - While you can add/edit/delete Glossary entries in WPML -> Translation Management -> Tools -> Glossary (see Glossary.jpg) or https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/how-to-create-and-manage-glossary-entries/ for more information. - Now to your question, that you want to enable the "content editor" user to be able to edit the Glossary entries, while you don't want 'em to make an admin user. This is possible, if you add that user as a "Translation Manager" in WPML -> Translation Management -> Translators (see Translation Manger.jpg) or https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/working-with-translation-managers/ for more information. In this case, I prepared a demo for you on my fresh sandbox site at hidden link. Here I added different users per WordPress standard roles. As you can see I added "editor" as a Translation Manager too. So when I login as the "editor", I can manage the Glossaries (add/edit/delete) in WPML -> Translation Management -> Tools -> Glossary. In short, you can not manage Glossaries while adding/updating a translation in ATE, but can use/insert in the translation. While, you can manage these from WPML admin side (as mentioned above). I hope this clarifies your query. However, please feel free to expand more if you think I've misunderstood about it. I'll try my best to further assist you on the matter.     |
