Background of the issue:
I have a multi-language website using English as the source language. I'm trying to translate a post (קישור נסתר) from ENG to Spanish and the translation gets stuck in 'In Progress' status. Then trying to translate another page (קישור נסתר) I got the same issue. I have tried all the solutions and work-arounds already given on the support site (see links below) and none of them worked: https://wpml.org/faq/translation-status-stuck-or-displaying-the-error-wpml-didnt-manage-to-translate-this-page/https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translations-stuck-in-progress/https://wpml.org/forums/topic/the-uploaded-xliff-file-does-not-seem-to-be-properly-formed-7/#:~:text=Solution%3A,WPML%20%2D%20the%20multilingual%20WordPress%20plugin. Advanced Translation Editor Error Log shows several inputs as: Event: XLIFF Server Communication Description: The uploaded xliff file does not seem to be properly formed.Missing or wrong data: target WPML Job ID: 1460 ATE Job ID: 107848022 Extra Data: {"downloadUrl":"קישור נסתר;} Also, although the translation appears in WPML->Translation Management->Jobs as 'In Progress'; when trying to download the XLIFF file under WPML->Translations, that translation work doesn't show. Furthermore, on WPML->Translations it would appear that the Spanish language doesn't exist at all since I can not even filter by it. I can create temporary credentials for you to enter our website using the Temporary Login Without Password plugin, please let me know and I will be happy to do it.

Symptoms:
The translation gets stuck in 'In Progress' status. Advanced Translation Editor Error Log shows 'The uploaded xliff file does not seem to be properly formed. Missing or wrong data: target'. The translation work doesn't show under WPML->Translations, and the Spanish language doesn't appear as a filter option.
Questions:
Why is the translation getting stuck in 'In Progress' status?
Why does the Advanced Translation Editor Error Log show 'The uploaded xliff file does not seem to be properly formed. Missing or wrong data: target'?
Why doesn't the translation work show under WPML->Translations?
Why doesn't the Spanish language appear as a filter option under WPML->Translations?
