I deleted and re-added my user. Then, I saw the translations that I sent but when I opened the first form to translate, this happened (it stays like this all the time):

Please make sure to have a full website backup, reach out to your hosting and ask them to downgrade PHP to version 8.2.

Let me know if the issue is solved after that.

Hello and thank you for creating this ticket.

We did the requested steps but the issue still persists.

Hello there,

To escalate this issue to the appropriate team, I need you to please create a staging version of the website, preferably on the same server. This way, we can test and check solutions without harming your live website.

Please send me the link here, when you're done. You can keep the same user I already have on staging. Thank you so much.

Hello,

Here is the link to the staging site: hidden link

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you. I escalated to 2nd tier and will get back once I receive feedback. That usually takes a few days.

Hello there,

Thank you for waiting. I was able to find a solution. Please ensure to have a backup and follow these steps:

1. Open your DB admin of your choice (it can be PhpMySQL, or any other you want);
2. Run this command:

UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 1 WHERE `status` = 2

3. Then run this other:

UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 10 WHERE `status` = 1;
UPDATE `{wpdbPrefix}_icl_translation_status` SET `status` = 10 WHERE `status` = 9;

Make sure to replace '{wpdbPrefix}' if your actual table prefix. If that's too advanced for you, or you need more specific instructions, let me know.

Hello,

I run the above commands and again I had the same issue when I tried to manually update the form. Also now when I open the Translations I see this (please see the attached screenshot).

Hey there,

I applied this solution on an exact copy of your website, and the issue was solved there. Perhaps I can try applying it in your live website. I just need you to confirm that you have a backup, so I can proceed.

Hello,

Our website is backed up every day at 1:48 AM (US time). Could you please try again any time after that?

Thank you!

WPML > Translations is accessible. The translation editor is working. I just checked it.

I have not made any changes to the website. Can you please confirm?

Hey there,

I still see it working flawlessly to me. Check the image attached.

Please see by sending new Jobs, if they show up on the Translation Queue. Alternatively, check with another admin user — I've noticed that there are 2 users with the same email on the website, which might be causing that.

Hello,

I have checked my user and the email is not being used by another account. I also created a new admin user, added it to the Translators group and sent the forms for manual translation. After that, I could see the translation jobs but when I opened the first form to translate the same error occurred again. Since then, the same error has appeared on the Translations tab as well. Please see the attached screenshots.
