Menu Translation

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

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with the menu on the /en/ page being different from the menu on the main homepage.
Solution:
We recommended that the client should translate the Main Navigation menu into the secondary languages. This involves creating a backup first and then translating the menu to English and German to see if the expected results are achieved. We provided step-by-step instructions and links to our documentation for manual menu translation and auto-sync menu translation.

Translating Menus Manually
Menu Synchronization

We also advised that menu translation is a one-time task and suggested prioritizing the translation of pages before proceeding with the menu translation.

Please note that the solution provided might be irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

lucaC-85	By adjusting the settings of the /en/ page to match those of the Italian version, I managed to resolve some issues. However, now the problem is this: I have encountered the following menu, which is different from that of the main homepage. How can I resolve this?

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. Please check the attached images. The menu used for the Main Navigation is not translated into secondary languages yet. So please translate the Menu to English and German after backup and make sure you are getting the expected results or not. Please refer to the following documentation for more details and let us know your feedback. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#fully-custom-create-menus-manually -- Thanks!

Please prioritize translating the pages to English and German first, then proceed with translating the menu into English and German. We can translate the menu manually or by auto-sync.
