English page is not translatable

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate an English page but the 'Edit Translation' option is not available, and the English page is displaying in French.
Solution:
We have identified that you have selected 'WordPress Editor' for your translations. To access the 'Edit Translation' option, you need to switch to the WPML Translation Editor. This change should resolve the issue of the missing 'Edit Translation' button and ensure the correct language display for your page.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket.

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for contacting us. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified. Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements. Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me. ✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
