Comment (by dathix):

 > Not sure I follow. When you use this function, WordPress just loads the
 translations for the currently active locale.
 > If your locale is set to de_CH, WP does not load any French
 translations. That‘s by design.
 I am aware of this but before I installed WordPress >=6.2 changing the
 frontend language through WPML's language switcher also switched the
 script translations prior to the update.

 After some further investigation, I was able to fix this issue by adding
 the action below:

 {{{
 add_action('wpml_language_has_switched', function () {
     global $sitepress;

     $lang = $sitepress->get_current_language();
     $locale = $sitepress->get_locale($lang);

     switch_to_locale($locale);
 });
 }}}

 I am just wondering why this worked before.
