This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: If you're experiencing a 404 error on a translated page after using automatic translation, even after resaving site permalinks and clearing both site and WPML cache. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Clear the cache from both the site and WPML. 2. Resave your site permalinks. 3. If the issue persists, try temporarily disabling WPML to check if the problem still occurs. This can help determine if the issue is specifically related to WPML or if it might be a broader issue with your site setup.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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.

Background of the issue:
I translated a page "hidden link" on my site using automatic translation. I have resaved site permalinks and cleared cache for both the site and WPML cache.
Symptoms:
Translated page shows 404 not found.
Questions:
How to resolve the 404 page not found issue for the translated page
I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
I’ve rechecked, but I’m unable to reproduce the issue — possibly because you’ve re-saved the permalinks. Maybe you can see the exact steps to share, so that I can reproduce the problem?
I also noticed that the last links you shared are from the default language, which suggests that the issue might not be related to WPML. Could you try temporarily disabling WPML to see if the problem still occurs?
