Problem:
You are trying to display a translated core navigation block menu on a page, but after translation, the menu does not appear on the translated page.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Navigate to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page.
2. Click the following buttons:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- Synchronize posts taxonomies
- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Fix post type assignment for translations
- Set language information
3. Deactivate all plugins except WPML and switch to the default theme.
4. Go to WPML >> Translation Dashboard, assign the Navigation menu to yourself, and translate it using the Advanced Translation Editor.
5. Reactivate all plugins and the theme.
6. Add and translate a new menu.
This process should resolve the temporary glitch that prevented the menu from displaying.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to display the already translated core navigation block menu on a page. The link to the page where the issue can be seen is: hidden link

Symptoms:
Now that the menu is translated, I don't see any menu at all, on the translated page

Questions:
Why is the translated "navigation" blocks menu not displaying on the front end for the translated page?

I followed the below steps on your staging/test site:

1. Went to WPML >> Support > Troubleshooting page and pressed the below buttons:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- [Navigation Menu] Synchronize posts taxonomies
- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Fix post type assignment for translations
- Set language information

2. Created a new menu, but the issue persisted.
3. Deactivated all plugins except WPML and switched to the default Twenty Twenty-Five theme.
4. Went to WPML >> Translation Dashboard, assigned the Navigation menu to myself, and translated it using the Advanced Translation Editor.
5. Re-activated all plugins and the theme and it continued working fine (screenshot attached).
6. Added and translated a new menu again, and it also worked correctly.

It appears this was a temporary glitch that got resolved after reactivating the theme/plugins and running the troubleshooting steps.

Could you please check and confirm on your side?

Thank you for your cooperation and patience
