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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with changing the RankMath title and description on a translated product in a specific language, while being able to make these edits in other languages, the issue might be related to WPML settings.
Solution:
We recommend you to navigate to WPML -> String Translation and look for any slugs strings (like "shop" from the domain "WordPress") that might be translated incorrectly. Correcting these translations can potentially fix the issue.
After making these changes, please test if you are now able to edit the SEO title and description.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello Dirk,

Upon further review our 2nd tier team has been able to identify the issue and find a solution.

We found that by disabling the option "Translate custom post and taxonomy base slugs (via WPML String Translation)." in WPML -> Settings, the German product SEO title and description would save properly.

We found that there was a string("shop" from the domain "WordPress") being translated incorrectly in WPML -> String Translation, please check the screenshot.

Upon fixing it, even with "Translate custom post and taxonomy base slugs" enabled we're able to edit the SEO title now, can you please test it and confirm it is working?

Thank you, please let us know.
Mateus
