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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where a new user, added as a translator and translation manager in WPML, receives a "no privileges" error when trying to review translations from Finnish to Swedish and English to Swedish.
Solution:
1. We tested by creating a new user and found that changing the WPML > Languages > Language URL format to 'Different languages in directories' resolved the issue.
2. We suggested the client log in to the secondary domain corresponding to the language they wish to review. For example:
- To review English, log in at https://ledstore.pro/blog/wp-login.php
- For Swedish, use https://led-store.se/blog/wp-login.php
3. If this solution does not seem relevant or does not resolve the issue, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WPML support.

It sounds like you've configured the options correctly. 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.
