Product category links do not use translated slugs

Overview of the issue

Links to product categories are used both in the back end and front end. The product-category slug may be translated automatically when sending products for translation, and may be set directly in the WCML settings for store URLs, or at WPML > Taxonomy Translation.

Even when translations of the slug appear to be available they may not be used, and the original (e.g. English product-category) may be used in links.

Workaround

Go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomies Translation, ensure for Product Categories that the slugs are translated in the “Set different slugs in different languages for Product categories” dropdown, and then SAVE those settings.

A fix will be provided that handles this automatically.
