This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where deleted languages still appear on your sitemap, it might be due to incomplete deletion processes.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps to ensure complete removal of languages:
1. Navigate to WPML --> Languages --> Edit languages.
2. Temporarily add the languages you previously deleted.
3. Go to your posts and pages, remove all content associated with these languages, and ensure to also delete them from the trash.
4. Return to WPML --> Languages --> Edit languages and permanently delete the languages again.
If you encounter a 504 Gateway Time-out error during this process, it could indicate a server connection issue, which may prevent the language from being completely removed.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
