Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate a blog article from German to English and Spanish on my site hidden link. The article in question is hidden link.

Symptoms:
The article text is translated in the backend, but it is not publishing. The Spanish site is leading to a 404-page.

Questions:
Why is the translated article not publishing?
Why does the Spanish site lead to a 404-page?

Hello there,

Can you please follow the below steps and let me know if this helps:

- Go to Dashboard->Pages

- Set the pages to be publish instead of draft.

Thanks

Hello,
now the sites are visible, but the content of the pages is still in german.

How can I fix that?

Hello there,

Looks like the login details are changed, To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
