Background of the issue:
I am trying to create custom navigation links for WooCommerce product categories in the file woocommerce/archive-product.php. Here's the code I have: Coin des Girls – Bain Coin des Girls – Lingerie Coin des Girls – Prêt-à-porter . The 3 categories you see in the code are in French only (the default language). Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
The get_term_link() function randomly generates links that direct users to English or German, where the category does not exist in those languages. I expected that if I'm on French, the user should be directed to the French category link. Instead, I got links randomly directing to English or German.

Questions:
Why does get_term_link() generate links to non-existent categories in English or German?
How can I ensure that users are directed to the correct French category link?

Hi,

Would you please follow the steps mentioned din the chat and get back to us with the result?

Use the "wpml_object_id" to get the ID of the translated category and then use it in your code.
