Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my website, hidden link, into 6 languages using WPML. I removed all languages except German and initiated automatic translation for everything.

Symptoms:
Products and categories are incorrect in all languages. In German, categories show incorrect categories and missing thumbnails. Many words are not translated in the main menus.

Questions:
Why are products and categories incorrect in all languages?
Why are categories in German showing incorrect categories and missing thumbnails?
Why are many words not translated in the main menus after automatic translation?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

I understand that the site's default language is English, German is a secondary language, and then you are adding more languages.

Could you share a link where one of the problems can be seen? You can also share a download link to a video describing the problem. This will help me understand what steps were followed to translate the content and how to reproduce the issue on the site.

Looking forward to your message.
Regards,
Carlos
