Advanced Translation Editor stuck at 99%

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

Problem:
You are trying to complete a translation using the Advanced Translation Editor, but the displayed completion status is stuck at 99% even though all fields are translated.
Solution:
We recommend contacting your hosting provider and requesting them to increase the

max_input_vars

value to 10000. You can verify the current

max_input_vars

value in WPML -> Support. After making this change, please double-check if the issue has been resolved.

If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not relevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Simon	Background of the issue: I am trying to complete a translation using the Advanced Translation Editor. All fields are translated but the displayed completion status is stuck at 99%. After I click the "Complete Translation" button nothing happens. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Other translations on other pages work perfectly fine. The website editor already the following approach: Could you please try the below procedure: 1. Please open the default language page in Edit mode. 2. Make a small change, for example, add a space or + sign in your page/post title. 3. Update the page by pressing the "Update" button. 4. Now, please remove that small change that did in step #2. 5. Update the page again. 6. Now, please try to open the translated page in WPML Translation Editor and make sure the translation is 100% complete and press the complete translation button. Symptoms: The completion status is stuck at 99% and nothing happens after clicking the "Complete Translation" button. Questions: Why is the translation completion status stuck at 99%? Why does nothing happen when I click the "Complete Translation" button? Since the Advanced Translation Editor is running on wpml.org, can you look into this and fix whats broken?
