This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing 404 errors with your translated Welsh events using the Events Manager plugin, it might be due to the permalink structure or translation settings. Solution:
We recommend refreshing your permalink settings by navigating to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and clicking "Save Changes". This can often resolve 404 errors. Additionally, ensure that the Events Manager plugin and WPML are fully compatible and that you have manually translated the events. You can find instructions for manual translation here.
Please update your WPML plugin to the latest version, currently 4.6.10, and its add-ons to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements. While this may not directly solve your problem, it is essential for troubleshooting on the most recent code. You can check the latest released versions under My Account -> Downloads on the WPML site. Instructions for updating can be found here. Remember to backup your database before proceeding.
If this solution is irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket here.

First, you need to update your WPML plugin to the latest version, 4.6.10, and add-ons to benefit from the latest bug fixes and improvements. This may not necessarily resolve your problem; however, in order to troubleshoot the issue best, we need to work on the latest code available.

You do not use the installer plugin to update WPML. The installer plugin can be deleted when the WPML is installed. Please follow this guide: https://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/#register. You might need to click button Check for updates.
I'll ask for access if it's needed to check the problem further.
I have updated the plugin and the string translation addon. I've set All Events to be translated by the default wordpress editor. However, when i press Publish, the event doesn't publish and remains in the Draft state.
Thank you for your feedback. Could you please upload some screenshots so we can I can see the issue? Additionally, would you mind temporarily deactivating all non-WPML related plugins to see if the issue persists?
I can't deactivate plugin at the moment as my client is looking over the site.
Are you happy to login and take a look? There is already an Admin login setup for yourselves with the email noreply@wpml.org. Let me know and I can send you an updated password
