Problem:
If you're experiencing issues accessing the Estonian language category page on your WordPress site, while the Russian language category page functions correctly, it might be due to the known issue where product category links do not use translated slugs.

We recommend following these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML → Settings → Taxonomies Translation.
2. Locate Product Categories and ensure the option “Set different slugs in different languages for Product categories” is selected.
3. Click Save to confirm the settings.
