Background of the issue:
I am trying to fix an issue where the category link in my breadcrumbs points to the wrong language. For example, this post is in English: hidden link and has an English category. You can see it because it shows here in the category page: hidden link. It is the first one on the list.

Symptoms:
In the breadcrumbs, I expected a link to the post category in English: hidden link. Instead, I got a link to the Spanish category. This happens for all posts in this category and 4 other categories out of the 12 categories the site has.

Questions:
Why does the category link in my breadcrumbs point to the wrong language?
How can I ensure the breadcrumbs link to the correct language category?

The crazy thing is that it was also happening for another category and now it is magically fixed for that one. I opened another ticket about 30 minutes ago and I closed it. However, I have realized now that it is happening with another 4 categories. I have no idea why the previous one was solved out of nowhere. But the crazy thing is that whatever it was it didn't solved the rest of them.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Could you please let me know how you added the breadcrumbs to your site? Do I understand correctly that this issue only occurs for those four categories?

Have you also tried temporarily disabling all plugins except WPML to check if the issue persists?
