Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. Please try the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Go to WPML → String Translation. 2. Search for the string “product-category”. 3. Delete the string from the String Translation table. 4. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to refresh your permalinks. 5. Navigate to WooCommerce Multilingual and re-add the translation for the product category. 6. If the category is already translated, try synchronizing your menu again. Important: Please ensure you back up your database before making any changes.
