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

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with saving and creating multi-language products with several hundred variations, which was taking a long time to complete.
Solution:
1. We confirmed that the issue had been tested on a site clone and the changes were working.
2. We instructed the client to edit a specific file by navigating to "Plugins -> Plugin Editor" and overwriting the mentioned code lines, emphasizing the importance of making a backup before making any changes.
3. We informed the client that we could not provide an ETA for the release that includes these changes, as the priority might be lower due to the lack of similar reports from other clients.
4. We updated the files on the client's site and asked the client to try saving the product again, noting that it should now take around 30 seconds without getting "stuck".

If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend you try the steps mentioned above. However, please be aware that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us.

Hello, I have tried making a small change on one variation and saving the product:
hidden link

and YES, even though it took several minutes, this is better than an endless loop!!! Please do get this into the next upgrade. Also, I imagine I cannot install or update WPML until the version with the fix right? Or I would be deleting what you modified in the files?

I will continue testing this but it does seem to work so yes, include it in the next release and soooo thankful!

Hi Javier,

Thanks for the confirmation. We usually recommend making the same changes after an update, but if you feel uncomfortable editing code, it's best to leave it for now. We will inform you once this is included in a new release here.

Best Regards
Marcel

Ok, wonderful, thank you so much Marcel, especially (but not only) for editing our files as I was stuck on that. Will keep you updated if we notice anything particular in the coming days when we update these large products.
Best Regards,

Javier Petrement
