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

Problem:
If you're wondering whether WPML is compatible with PHP 8.5, it's important to note that WPML might work with PHP 8.5 in some scenarios, but it has not been fully verified for this version.
Solution:
We recommend using PHP 8.2 with WPML as it is the version that has been fully tested and verified for compatibility. If you're experiencing issues with PHP 8.5, consider downgrading to PHP 8.2 or wait for future updates where full compatibility with PHP 8.5 might be ensured.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello there,

Not fully. WPML might work with PHP 8.5 on some scenarios, and we are working to ensure its full compatibility. Nonetheless, it's only been verified until PHP 8.2, which is the recommended version to use along WPML.
