Background of the issue:
I am editing the default language on my site hidden link using WPML. I want to ensure that the latest version of the content is available for translation.

Symptoms:
When I try to translate the edited default language, the translation editor shows an older version instead of the newest version.

Questions:
Why is the translation editor not showing the latest version of the default language?
How can I update the translation editor to reflect the newest version of the content?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- The cause of the issue might be that the old content is still not fully translated and the translation is stuck. I kindly ask you to follow these steps and let me know if the issue disappeared:
- Edit the content in the original language
- Make a small change to the content
- Save the changes
- Go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Select the content and send it for translation (you can assign it to yourself)
- Go to WPML -> Translations -> Translate the content (make sure it is 100% translated)
- Double-check if the issue disappeared.

Could you tell me the results of the steps described above?

2.- Please share the site debug information as described in this guide: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Regards,
Carlos

Thank you for sharing the credentials requested.

After following the steps described in my message the content is shown correctly in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). If you still see any issues, please share a screenshot highlighting the outdated content.

Hi,

I see the content correctly translated into English. Could you share a screenshot where the untranslated content is shown?
