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

Problem:
The client created a Solaris Board with 48 letters, each set as an individual text field and animated. However, only 14 letters were visible in the ATE (Advanced Translation Editor).
Solution:
We found that this behavior is expected due to WPML's translation memory, which does not allow for different translations of the same text segment, such as the letter 'E'. To demonstrate, we translated all available letters to '1', and confirmed that they displayed correctly. If you're experiencing this issue and need a different approach, we recommend using a manual translation method. For guidance on using different translation editors, please visit Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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.

Hello,

I checked further and it is expected and working fine.

You have same segment / text to translate so WPML will not provide you same text to be translated in different manner, for example letter E, but if you translate, it it will be saved correctly to all same original source. This is due to translation memory, since the same segment / text are loaded from translation memory.

To test I have translated all available letters to 1, and you can see it works fine:
- hidden link

If you wish to use different approach, you will need to use a manual approach for this case.

OK. I understand that this can´t work by the way WPML is built.
I will think about using a different design.
Thankyou!
