This is something related to WPML String Translation and the scanning of the plugin files.
We are investigating the case and attempting to find a proper fix for this.

Workaround

As a workaround, you can go to wpml-string-translation/classes/translations-file-scan/translations-file/wpml-st-translations-file-locale.php and change the code:

1

default:
    throw new RuntimeException( 'Unable to parse the language from the translations file ' . $this->filepath );

to:

1

default:
    return: '';
