Background of the issue:
I am trying to use the 'Copy taxonomy to translations' functionality with custom post types in WordPress. When using the WordPress Editor, the terms assigned to the original post are not being copied over to the translation. The functionality works fine with the 'post' post type. The 'Copy taxonomy to translations' setting is enabled, and the terms have been translated. I tested this on the 'twentytwentyfour' theme and encountered the same issue.

I did some digging and I believe the `add_hooks` method in the class `WPML_REST_Posts_Hooks` runs before custom post types are registered (before the 'init' action), so the hooks aren't being applied to them.

Symptoms:
Terms are not copied over to translations for custom post types, despite the setting being enabled and terms translated.

Questions:
Can this be fixed.

Hi there,

Please try the following workaround.

1. Take a backup before proceeding

2. Go to your theme's functions.php and add the following code

function fixposttype() {
	global $sitepress, $wpml_term_translations;
	$post_type = "movie";
	$test      = new WPML_REST_Posts_Hooks( $sitepress, $wpml_term_translations );
	add_filter( "rest_prepare_$post_type", array( $test, 'prepare_post' ), 10, 2 );
}

fixposttype();

Once added, try again and the issue should be resolved.

Let me know your results, please.
