This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is encountering a message on some pages indicating that something might be broken when in fact they are just working on their pages.
Solution:
We explained that the eye icon means the content has been translated and is awaiting review. We advised the client to review the translation first and make any necessary corrections. For guidance on reviewing translations, we provided a link to our documentation: How to review automatic translations on your site, and for understanding different icons: Translation Icons.
We also acknowledged that the message is a false-positive and provided a temporary workaround until a permanent fix is released in future versions of WPML:
1) Access the file
wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/notices/wpml-tm-post-edit-notices.php
using an FTP program, and locate line 164.
2) Replace the existing code with the following:
}elseif ( $this->is_waiting_for_a_translation( (int) $this->post_status->get_status( $post_id, $trid, $lang ) ) && (WPML_TM_Post_Edit_TM_Editor_Mode::is_using_tm_editor( $this->sitepress, $post_id )) ) {We reminded the client to back up their site before making any changes and offered further assistance if needed.
