Translation in progress

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

Problem:
You are unable to complete translations because the navigation menus are permanently marked as "In progress" and you encounter the message "Save all sentences before finishing".
Solution:
1. Check the translation status in WPML > Translation Management. If a translation has been assigned to another translator, it won't appear in WPML > Translations. To address this, resend the page or template for translation from WPML > Translation Management. This action allows you to either reassign it to a different translator or take over the translation yourself.
2. If you open the Advanced Translation Editor for a page that is fully translated, its status will change to "In Progress." To finalize it, simply edit the translations as needed and click "Complete Translations." If you need to reassign the translation, follow the same steps as mentioned above by resending the page or template for translation.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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.
