Background of the issue:
I am trying to access the 'Tools' tab under 'Translation management' in WPML, but it is not visible.
Every time I open 'Translation management', a new log entry appears in the 'Advanced Translation Editor Error logs'.
I have already generated and entered a new site key twice, but it does not help.
Symptoms:
Every call to hidden link returns status 403. When I open that URL in a browser, I also get a 403 status result. The error log shows 'Event: ATE Server Communication, Description: Forbidden, status: 403'.
Questions:
Why does ate.wpml.org return error 403?
What is the way such calls should work?
Should ate.wpml.org reply with something different?
No, still the same problem.
I am testing this as an admin (superadmin of a Multisite).
My WPML account is very old, and I've never used the ATE before - so my question is: Does the 403 error come from a real "forbidden" rejection of the ate.wpml.org server?
Because in that case, I don't see what I could do about it from my side?
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
That's why my questions still stand:
What is the way such calls should work, so I can look for the problem on my server?
Why does ate.wpml.org return error 403? Does the 403 error depend on something going wrong on my server, and how will ate.wpml.org know about a problem on my server??
Should ate.wpml.org reply with something different (when do I know the problem is fixed)?
