justinK-16	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a shortcode using WPML. It works initially, but after some time, especially after updating a post, I notice that some of the shortcodes are no longer translated. Symptoms: The previously translated shortcodes do not stay in the translation memory and disappear from already translated segments in the ATE. Questions: Why do the translated shortcodes disappear after updating a post? How can I ensure that the translated shortcodes remain in the translation memory?
