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

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with unresolved markers on your site, which prevent you from successfully saving sentence translations. You've tried using both Bold and Span markers, but WPML still shows errors.
Solution:
We recommend setting all markers identically to ensure consistency. If you're having trouble applying the markers in the same way, we suggest using the button to copy the original segment and then edit the text accordingly.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve issues with unresolved markers on my site hidden link using WPML.

Symptoms:
Unresolved markers are causing difficulties. Preventing me from successfully saving the sentence translation.

Questions:
Why does it have to be so difficult with no help in sight? I'm given the option to skip, but... that doesn't resolve it. I'm applied both, the Bold and Span markers, but WPML is still not satisfied. What gives?

Hello,

You need to set all the markers identically.

If you have issues with applying the markers in the same way, use the button to copy the original segment and then edit the text.

Best regards

That works, but it's annoying to have to retranslate the text where those markers are found.

Hello,

Yes, it's annoying 🙁

There is a feature request to implement a solution. I am adding your vote to it so it's prioritized. But at this point, I can't promise an ETA for it. So, for now, you'll need to follow Andreas' suggestion.

Best Regards,
Otto
