This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where the brand page could not be found when accessing it through the specified URL. The expected brand pages and their products were not displaying, showing an error message instead.
Solution:
We identified that the issue was related to the URL structure and the translation settings within WPML. Here are the steps we took to resolve the issue:
1. We navigated to WPML->String Translation to locate and delete the existing brand strings.
2. We then re-scanned and re-translated these strings to ensure they were correctly set up.
3. We adjusted the permalink settings from Chinese to English in WP->Settings->Permalinks, which was initially not taking effect likely due to caching issues.
These steps resolved the brand page not found error, and the correct URLs began to function as expected.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Supplementary issue screenshots:
I used WooCommerce shortcodes on the product page.
The same shortcode is applied to both the Chinese and English pages,
but it only displays correctly on the Chinese page.

Hi there,

there was an issue with the category and only one product was being pulled from the database, I have ran some troubleshooting actions from within WPML->Support->Troubleshooting along with clearing the WPML cache and they are showing OK now.

Thank you so much for your assistance!

Everything is now displaying correctly on the front end.

Would it be possible for you to record the troubleshooting process? That way, if I encounter the same issue in the future, I can refer to the video and try to resolve it myself.

###

Additionally, the shipping settings issue has been resolved, so there is no need to open a separate discussion for it.

Once again, I really appreciate Bobby Support’s help!

There is also a small issue—on the checkout pages for individual products in the default language (Traditional Chinese), the “Add to basket” button appears in English. However, I couldn’t find the relevant string in WPML String Translation to modify its translation.

If possible, please also record a screen video of how to modify the translation of this button.
Thank you!

Hi there,

The steps were as follows:

1. Go to WPML->settings->troubleshooting
2. Run the following actions:

Clear the Cache in WPML
Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
Fix element_type collation
Fix WPML table collation
Set language information
Cleanup and optimize string tables

Related documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-troubleshooting-options/

Regarding the secondary issue I will split it and go through it on a video for you.
