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

Problem:
You are trying to use different domains per language on your WordPress site with WPML. Despite correct server configuration and active SSL certificates on both domains, WPML reports that the domain is invalid.
Solution:
We recommend disabling the "Validate on save" option, entering your second domain, saving the changes, and then testing if the domain works. Sometimes the validation message can be a false positive. After translating the page, check if you can reach it via your secondary domain. If this doesn't work, your second domain may not be configured correctly.

If this solution is outdated or does not apply to your problem, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also recommend checking the known issues page (https://wpml.org/known-issues/), verifying the version of the permanent solution, and confirming that you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed.

Hintergrund des Themas:
I’m trying to use different domains per language on my WordPress site using WPML. Both domains (hidden link and hidden link) are on the same server (All-Inkl), pointing to the same folder, have SSL active, and there is no redirect between them.

Die Symptome:
WPML still says 'domain invalid'.

Fragen:
Can you help force HTTPS recognition or domain linking?

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

I would try deactivating the "Validate on save" option, entering your second domain, saving your changes, and then testing the domain to see if it works. Sometimes, the validation message can be a false positive. After translating the page, check if you can access it using your secondary domain. If it doesn't work, your second domain is not configured correctly.
