This field is synchronized by the wcml plugin and doesnt need to be setup within wpml configuration. You should remove that line from wpml-config.xml and review the Multilingual Content Setup page to make sure its not configured there to translate.
We already removed that line and restored the original wpml-config.xml file.

In WPML -> Translation management -> Multilingual Content Setup we don’t see options to enable od disable “Product Type” translation.
I go to the product in original language, set “Variable Product”, Save, go to Translated product, and the product is still “Simple”.
Please help! 🙁
Are you using the translation editor? If so, this is not supported yet.
We will be releasing an update in a couple of weeks with support for the translation editor: http://wpml.org/2013/06/whats-up-with-wpml-and-woocommerce-multilingual/
