This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needs to know if they can edit translations locally on their site without accessing external servers due to security concerns.
Solution:
If you're experiencing the need to edit translations locally, we recommend two options:
1) Use the Classic Translation Editor, which operates directly within WordPress.
2) Switch to Manual Mode, allowing you to edit translations directly in your Page Builder.
Note that the external connection is only necessary for the Advanced Translation Editor, which provides additional features like automatic translation, glossary, and translation memory. More information on these features can be found here.
This solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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 this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket.
