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

Problem:
You are trying to translate products on your website but encounter an error message indicating a heavy load and a specific WPML translation failure message stating 'WPML tried to translate this page three times, but failed.' This issue persists with some products.
Solution:
We recommend resending the content from WPML > Translation Management to see if the problem resolves. This action should be taken especially if you notice the error message 'WPML tried to translate this page three times, but failed.' If the issue was previously fixed and reoccurs, it might be due to a temporary problem that was resolved but had residual effects.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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. Should these steps not provide a resolution, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum for further assistance.

Hello there,

We had an issue that was fixed and that may have created that problem.

Could you please try to resend the content from WPML > Translation and see if the problem disappears this time?

Let us know how it goes.

Hello Alejandro,

3 out of 4 products are solved. But one keeps the message:

WPML tried to translate this page three times, but failed. To get it fixed, contact WPML Support

I can't get it right whatever I try.

Thanks for your reply. The issue should be resolved. Are you still getting "WPML tried to translate this page three times, but failed. To get it fixed, contact WPML Support" when you try to translate your products?
