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

Problem:
You are trying to translate a page, post, event, or product using WPML and after reaching 100% in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), the translation remains 'in progress' or 'waiting for translators' instead of being marked as complete. You need to use troubleshooting and click all the cleanup options for the job to be completed.
Solution:
This issue may be related to the Site or Object Cache. We recommend clearing both caches and deleting the minified CSS and JS files to resolve the issue.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues and verify the version of the permanent fix. Ensure that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello,

It seems this was an issue with the Site or Object Cache.

Clearing both caches and deleting the minified CSS and JS files solved the issue.

Best regards
