This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where the translation method element is unclickable in the WordPress sidebar when trying to translate a product, it might be due to the translation method settings.
Solution:
First, check the translation method for the product in the WordPress sidebar. If it's set to "WordPress Editor" and you wish to use the WPML Translation Editor, you need to change this setting to "WPML Translation Editor".
Additionally, if you are using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) on this product, ensure that the ACF field groups are set to "Same fields across languages". This setting is necessary to use the WPML Translation Editor effectively. If your ACF field groups are set to "Different fields across languages", you will need to use the WordPress Editor as your translation method. For more detailed guidance on translating ACF fields, visit Translate sites built with ACF.
