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

Problem:
It seems that there are translation options for normal posts/pages. But for all the custom posts/pages. There are no translation options at all. How to make them translatable?

Solution:
To be able to translate the custom post types, you need to set them as Translatable in the WPML settings. Please go to WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation section, then find the custom post type you want to translate and choose one of the two "Translatable" options.
