This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with the WPML plugin where after manually translating a post using the WordPress Editor instead of the WPML Translation Editor, they see a 'Translation in progress - wait before editing' message and a gear icon, indicating an ongoing translation job. This occurs even though the client completes the translation manually without using third-party services.
Solution:
1. Cancel any ongoing translation jobs via WPML > Translation Management > Jobs.
2. Ensure the translation method for each content is set to 'WordPress Editor' if not using the WPML Translation Editor. This setting can be found in the right sidebar of the WordPress Editor under the 'Language' section.
3. If a dialog appears when changing the translation method, apply the setting to all similar post types or to all contents of the site.
4. It's safe to dismiss the warning notice about active translations in the WPML Translation Editor and proceed, especially if translating manually.
5. Contact the hosting provider to whitelist necessary domains to ensure proper communication with WPML services. The domains include wpml.org, cdn.wpml.org, api.wpml.org, api.toolset.com, and cloudfront.net. More details can be found in the documentation: WPML connection issues documentation.
