Background of the issue:
I am trying to manage a WordPress site at hidden link using WPML. The owner has translated almost all Dutch pages into German.

Symptoms:
When I open the German pages in the admin panel, I see Dutch content instead of the translated German content.

Questions:
Why do the German pages show Dutch content in the admin panel?
How can I ensure that the translated German content is displayed correctly in the admin panel?

Hello,

I made a copy of the site using the Duplicator plugin and am currently working on it locally. We will get back to you as early as possible. Please wait.

Hello,

We are getting the expected results in our local copy after the following steps. Check the attached images for more details

1) Visit WPML>>Translation Management>>Translators
2) Add myself as a translator
3) Open the page (Asado barbecue) for editing in the Dutch language
4) Make a minor change in the page content (I added a new title field for testing)
5) Update the page
6) Visit WPML>>Translation Management
7) Scroll down to the Pages section
8) Filter the updated page by searching its title
9) Send it for translation
10) Visit WPML>>Translations (queue)
11) Translate the page

Please try it after a full site backup {mandatory} and let us know your feedback.

Hello,

Thank you for the update. This looks a bit unusual. Could you set up a staging/dev site (a clone of the live site) on the same server?

This will help us troubleshoot the bug without affecting the live site. Please let us know your thoughts.

Hi there,

Everything i still not working ok.

In the Avada layouts i have a header, and in the german site header the logo is not working. hidden link

If i open the german layout header in admin i can see the right logo path is there hidden link so why frontend on hidden link if i look at the path behind the missing logo its: hidden link

I never have these kind of issues on other WPML sites

I think it has something to do with Saving problems. Things are not properly saved.

Hello,

Thank you for the updates. We hope you are getting the expected results for the page translations after trying the steps suggested in the following thread. Please confirm.

https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translated-pages-when-open-in-admin-original-language-is-showed/#post-16880099

I have added a new ticket for the Avada Layouts issue. It will help us to avoid discussing multiple things in a single ticket. Thank you for your kind understanding.
