Below the reaction I got from WPML.
Forgive me but for me it is unthinkable that the most used forum plugin on the net 1,7 million downloads is still not WPML compatible.
Are you taken actions to WPML to persuade them to shift gear on it?
Here is the WPML reaction:

Hello Adri
Thank you for the Debug infos.
Unfortunately I can not provide solutions for bbPress in use with WPML and WooCommerce by now.
The Bridge Plugin isn’t supported at current time.
Our DEV Team is working on a solution, but this will take time.
For now the bbPress Plugin is considered as not compatible with WPML and also not compatible with WooCommerce Multilingual.
I am happy you found a kind of workaround, though I assume you could encounter more issues later on using this plugin at current status of things.
Regarding your last question, please refer to this DOC:
Automatic Redirect Based on Browser Language
The WPML Language Redirection based on browser language will “work” every 24 hours, unless you clean your cache of the browser.
This is because if you take as example a visitor that has EN as browser language,
but he wants to see your site in DE,
he would not be able to see your DE site if WPML would ALWAYS redirect to the browser language.
So WPML does only redirect the user once, and that cookie expires 24 hours after, or of course if you clean the browsers cache.
I apologize that I can’t help much regarding the bbPress issues.
It is in the ToDo list of the DEV Team.
Thank you
