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

Problem:
You are trying to enable automatic translation for products in WooCommerce using WPML, but you can't select the product for automatic translation.
Solution:
First, check if the WPML Translation Editor is selected in the language metabox of the product editor when editing the product. If this does not resolve the issue, it might be due to an ACF field group with specific preferences that are preventing it from being enabled. In this case, edit the ACF field group and set the translation preferences to "expert".

If the solution provided here is outdated or does not apply to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi,

It seems that there is an ACF field group with specific preferences that are preventing it from being enabled. Could you please edit the ACF field group and set the translation preferences to "expert" to see if that resolves the issue?

Thanks!
