Background of the issue:
I have edited the product category slug to 'category' for the English version of my site, hidden link, using WPML. It works as expected in English.

Symptoms:
In the German version, the URL still appears as 'produkt-kategorie' instead of 'kategorie'.

Questions:
How can I adjust the German version of the category slug to show as 'kategorie' instead of 'produkt-kategorie'?
