Workaround
We are working on fixing this error right now
It is recommended that you fix the locale in WPML > Languages > Edit languages
If you cannot access any admin page, you should temporary disable WPML String Translation – best way is by going by FTP to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder and renaming the folder to something else.
As a temporary patch, edit the file wpml-string-translation/classes/translations-file-scan/translations-file/wpml-st-translations-file-locale.php at line 65 and replace:
throw new RuntimeException( 'Language of ' . $this->filepath. ' cannot be recognized' );
By:
return '';
