This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: All translations were redirecting to the translation queue due to a database error indicating an unknown column 's.uuid' in various SQL queries. Solution: We discovered that the 'uuid' column was incorrectly named in your database. To resolve this, we temporarily installed the Adminer plugin to access and modify your database. We renamed the incorrect column to 'uuid', which fixed the issue. After verifying that the problem was resolved, we removed the Adminer plugin and the copy of your site.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. If you're still experiencing issues, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
I’ve taken a closer look at the issue, but at the moment I’m not able to identify the exact cause.
Would it be possible for me to create a copy of your site so I can run further tests in a local environment? This will help me investigate the issue more thoroughly.
Hey Andrey,
thanks for taking the time to look into this.
Yes, that’s absolutely fine, you can go ahead and create a copy of the site for testing purposes. Let me know if you need anything from my side to set this up.
I appreciate your patience. I have investigated this further on the local enviroment and found out that the following errors exist when attempting to translate the page:

The database table was missing the required column "uuid". So, I went ahead and temporarily installed the Adminer plugin to access the database.
The column itself was present, but it had an incorrect name. I renamed it to "uuid", which resolved the issue. After completing the fix, I removed the plugin and the copy of your site.
