This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where the Product Feed Manager generates image links with a language prefix for Google Merchant, resulting in images not being displayed because Google cannot recognize the image.
Solution:
We recommend contacting the Product Feed Manager plugin author for guidance on how to configure the plugin to exclude the language prefix from the image links. This behavior is not controlled by WPML settings, as WPML does not have a setting that affects how feed managers generate links. As an alternative, consider using a compatible plugin such as WooCommerce Google Product Feed, which is known to work well with WPML.

If this solution does not seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket with us, and we'll be happy to assist you further.

I upload products to Google Merchant, the Feed Manager generates a link to the image with the language prefix, but when directly following such a link there is no image, for this reason Google does not see this image. What settings need to be made so that the language prefix appears in the image link?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

hidden link

I'd appreciate it if you could provide further details on the issue. From what I gathered, it seems like the problem is with the Feed Manager. However, I'm uncertain about its connection with WPML.

The feed manager generates a link with the prefix /de/, but on the site the link is in German without this prefix.

Thank you for explaining the issue to me. In WPML settings, there is no setting can affect the feed manager to generate links without a language folder. I believe it generates links that way because your secondary language is German.

My suggestion would be to contact the Product Feed Manager plugin author and ask them for guidance on how to exclude this behavior.

Alternatively, you can try using a compatible plugin at https://wpml.org/plugin/woocommerce-google-product-feed/.
