athinaK-3	Background of the issue: I recently updated the product category permalinks via WPML > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency to use language-specific slugs. After doing this, I’m now encountering 404 errors on my webshop in the translated languages. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: I am encountering 404 errors on my webshop in the translated languages.

Please verify that the product category has accurate translations. 1. Go to WPML → String Translation.  2. Search for the string “product-category”.  3. And verify if it is correctly translated.
