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

Problem:
You have translated your entire website, including posts, using WPML. Although the translations appear correctly in the backend, the French translations are not displaying on the frontend. Specifically, on the Blog page, all posts are visible in other languages, but when switching to French, only one blog post shows as translated. Additionally, the French posts are continuously showing as 'Refreshing translation status' with an icon of two circular arrows rotating.
Solution:
We recommend increasing the memory allocated to your WordPress site as it might be insufficient to handle the translations effectively. After adjusting the memory, please proceed with the cleanup steps found in the troubleshooting section of our documentation. This action can help resolve issues with stuck translation statuses and ensure that all content displays correctly in all languages.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly encourage you to open a new support ticket. Additionally, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, you can also visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

Background of the issue:
I translated the whole website, including the posts, using WPML. The site I need help with is hidden link.

Symptoms:
The French translation is showing as translated in the backend, but not on the frontend. On the Blog page, all posts are showing in other languages, but when I switch to French, only one blog post is showing as translated.

Questions:
One thing to note is that I translated French posts multiple times (and spent credits each time), and this time it's endlessly showing them as "Refreshing translation status". With an icon of two circular arrows rotating.

Please let me know the results after increasing memory and running the clean up steps in the troubleshooting section.

Hi Lauren, thank you for your help.

Increasing memory limit didn't work via Plesk, but I managed to increase it via wp-config.php.

Finally, it worked after performing the clean-up process.
