menu sync and tag translate

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

Problem:
You need to automatically create and synchronize the same menu and its submenus in the English version of your website, translating them. Additionally, you want to translate tags in articles and create pages that collect these articles with translated tags.
Solution:
To synchronize and translate your menu and its submenus, follow the steps in our guide on Translating Menus with WPML. The 'Menu Sync' feature will be particularly useful for your needs.
For automating the synchronization process, you will require custom code as WPML does not support automatic syncing out of the box.

If this solution does not fully address your issue or seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also advise 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. For further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

luigia-11	Background of the issue: I have a website (hidden link) with an Italian version that includes a menu with many submenus (villas). Each submenu links to a page that collects a series of articles selected by tag. I want to replicate this setup automatically in the English version. Symptoms: I need to automatically create (synchronize) the same menu (with its submenus) in the English version, translating them. I also need to report in the articles in English the same tags (translated) that are present in the Italian language and create the same pages that collect the same articles but with translated tags. Questions: How can I automatically create (synchronize) the same menu (with its submenus) in the English version, translating them? How can I report in the articles in English the same tags (translated) that are present in the Italian language? How can I create the same pages that collect the same articles but with translated tags?

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi, it seems that the menu entries in the translated version haven't been selected/synced yet. You can resolve this by following the options outlined in this guide: Translating Menus with WPML. Specifically, the "Menu Sync" feature is likely what you're looking for. If you're aiming to automate this process (start the sync automatically), custom code would be required, as there isn’t a built-in function to perform it automatically. Best regards, Marcel
