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

Problem:
If you're experiencing an error stating "There was an error in applying translation." when clicking on the eye icon (Review Finnish language) in WooCommerce for some products, and noticing a discrepancy where the same products show an eye icon on the site but a V symbol (completed) on the translation dashboard.
Solution:
We recommend that you go to WPML → Translations, select the jobs, approve the translations, and check if this resolves the issue. This action should help in synchronizing the translation status correctly across your dashboard and the site.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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.

Hi.
If i go on woocommerce to all products --> and click on an eye icon (Review finnish language) it gives me this error "There was an error in applying translation." for some products only.

Also i noticed that for those (same) products it shows me an eye there on that site, but for the same product it gives me a V symbol (completed) on the translation dashboard.

Hi, in addition to what my colleague Carlos suggested, could you also try the following?

- Go to WPML → Translations, select the jobs, approve the translations, and see if that helps.

Do they get published after doing this?
