I do see the point you are trying to achieve by adding taxonomy term to the URL. But the way you are doing is not recommended by the WordPress Codex. At least I haven't found any mention of this (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/). It is more like a custom workaround to achieve the goal. I would suggest doing such by using rewrite rules ( add_rewrite_rule() ), as WP recommends. https://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_rule Since the solution is not standard, I assume it might have compatibility issues that we can't fix right now or fix at all. I hope this helps.

ricardoL-7	Hi, So you´re saying that if i use rewrite rules, wpml will translate the slugs and add them to the url without getting a 404?? I need to be sure before starting making the changes to the code

Based on the casess I have seen before, the code with proper rewrite rules worked with WPML.
