Problem:
The client is trying to retrieve the content of translated menus using

wp_get_nav_menu_object()

and

wp_get_nav_menu_items()

functions, but these functions are returning the content in the original language instead of the translated language.

Solution:
We recommend updating WordPress and WPML plugins to the latest versions, ensuring to take a full backup of the website and database before doing so. For more information on handling translations, we suggest checking the following WPML coding API documentation:

• WPML Coding API
• WPML Hooks Reference
• WPML Shortcodes
• How to get current language with WPML
• WPML Support Documentation

To solve the issue, you can use the

wpml_switch_language

hook to switch the language before retrieving the menu objects and items. Here is an example code snippet:

$my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );

// Switch to Italian (IT)
do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', "it" );

// Now retrieve the menu object and items in Italian
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object($menu->term_id);
$items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id, array('post_status' => 'any'));

// Switch back to the original language
do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', $my_current_lang );
