I have an error message
WPML String Translation is attempting to write .mo files with translations to folder: .../wp-content/languages
This folder appears to be not writable. This is blocking translation for strings from appearing on the site.

But the folder is available and has write permissions (see screenshot).

Please help me how to solve this or remove this image.

In case you need to login on the website

Hi,

I'm Osama from WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Thanks for the access details. I checked the issue and used the WP file manager to rename the languages folder to languages.old.
After that, I created a new languages folder, which fixed the issue.

Would you please check if the warning message disappeared from the dashboard?

Best regards,
Osama
