If you click on any country in the categories, it will go to the page. And if you click in the Brazilian flag, to change the language, it will not swap
So you are talking about the Frontend, not the Backend. OK, that I was able to reproduce.
The issue is the permalink. If you try to open hidden link -> it will cause a 301 redirect to the default language. Yoast sets the 301 redirect, and then after comes a 302 redirect from WPML.

1) Make a full backup of your site
2) There is a configuration issue. I recommend you translate the URL Slug to lowercase. You can change that on hidden link below at "Translations of taxonomy Category labels and slug". Change it as best to /categorias and resave the WP permalinks.
That will change the permalink from /Categorias to /categorias or any other word you define there.
2) After that, Try to temporarily deactivate Yoast to see if that is causing the issue.
Hi Marcel, I've done a staging website and changed the theme, but the issue persists. I also, deleted the roast on the staging and same results.
I've also delete woocomerce, as there is a replicated categories word. Nothing has changed...
I have no idea on what's going on...
I've solved the issue. Since the beginning I thought it could be something related to WooCommerce and the word "category". For some reason, the plugin changed all the categories url and the products categories url.
1. I've disable all plugins, modified the site’s wp-config.php with define( 'WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true ),
2. then I've deleted the WooCommerce plugin.
3. I also deleted all the strings from WooCommerce.
4. After that, I've purge the cache from WordPress.
5. Activate the WPML and Yoast again
After all this, the categories url when back to normal and are translating as it should.
