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

Problem:
The client is unable to use their translation credits on WPML to translate content despite having credits available. They also encountered issues with Vietnamese translations not completing and some page links showing with page IDs instead of slugs.
Solution:
1. To resolve the issue with using translation credits, we advised the client to ensure that the migration banner is set up correctly.
2. For chatting with support, the client needs to close the current ticket and open a new one for chat support. More information can be found here: https://wpml.org/announcements/2018/11/chat-support-for-wpml/
3. To check the status of the Vietnamese translation, navigate to WPML -> Translation Management, filter by the default language, and check the translation status in the desired section (posts, pages, etc).
4. To translate the homepage, go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Pages, select the homepage, and send it for translation.
5. For pages showing with page IDs instead of slugs, ensure these pages are published. Go to Pages -> Filter by Vietnamese language -> Click on Quick Edit link below the page title -> Change the status to 'Published' and save the changes.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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.

Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and trying to use my credits to translate content with WPML. I have switched accounts and confirmed that I have credits available.

Symptoms:

Questions:

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

This issue might be caused because the migration banner wasn't set up correctly. Can you share the URL of the site so I can take a look from our side?

Regards,
Carlos

Hi,

1.- As I mentioned in my previous message, to open a chat, you need to create a new ticket. In this link, you will find more information: https://wpml.org/announcements/2018/11/chat-support-for-wpml/

2.- To check the Vietnamese translation, you must go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Filter by the default language of the site, and then in the desired section (posts, pages, etc), check the status of the Vietnamese translation.

3.- To translate the homepage, go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Pages -> Select the homepage and send it for translation.

Regards,
Carlos

The pages with the slug like hidden link are not published.

Go to Pages -> Filter by Vietnamese language -> Click on Quick Edit link below the page title -> Change the status to 'Published' and Save the changes.
